Traffic chaos on the A555: Only two lanes available until July 2025!
Traffic restrictions on the A555 in the direction of Cologne are currently affecting drivers and commuters. Until Friday, July 4, 2025, only two of three lanes will be available between the Cologne-Godorf and Cologne-Rodenkirchen junctions. This measure is part of the preparations for the replacement of the Immendorfer Strasse bridge, as rheinische-anzeigenblaetter.de reports. During this time, drivers also have to be prepared for shortened merging and exiting lanes at the respective junctions. The reason for these restrictions lies in the required soil reports, which are necessary for the planning of the new building and the upcoming noise abatement. These reports include sampling and sometimes large drilling, which takes additional time...

Traffic chaos on the A555: Only two lanes available until July 2025!
Traffic restrictions on the A555 in the direction of Cologne are currently affecting drivers and commuters. Until Friday, July 4, 2025, only two of three lanes will be available between the Cologne-Godorf and Cologne-Rodenkirchen junctions. This measure is part of the preparations for the replacement construction of the Immendorfer Strasse bridge structure rheinische-anzeigenblaetter.de reported.
During this time, drivers also have to be prepared for shortened merging and exiting lanes at the respective junctions. The reason for these restrictions lies in the required soil reports, which are necessary for the planning of the new building and the upcoming noise abatement. These reports include sampling and sometimes large-scale drilling, which takes additional time, making it necessary to extend the measure.
Future developments
Another point that the affected road users should take into account: the lane reduction has already been lifted in the direction of Bonn, which will make traffic there more fluid again. Meanwhile, further investigations are still necessary for the entire measure in the direction of Cologne. These will mean that the restrictions will remain in place until July 4, 2025, informed honnef-heute.de.
The actual replacement construction of the A555 Immendorfer Straße bridge will be implemented between 2027 and the end of 2030. In addition to the necessary structural measures, noise barriers will also be built on both sides of the A555 to relieve pressure on residents and improve the quality of life in the area. It is clear here: Traffic will not only be hindered during construction work, but will also ensure long-term improvement.
For everyone who regularly travels on the A555, patience and planning are required. If you keep an eye on the current traffic situation and possibly consider alternative routes, you can better manage the effects of these measures.
