Traffic chaos in Cologne: Massive construction sites on the A4 by 2032!
From today, June 3, 2025, residents and commuters in Cologne must be prepared for extensive construction work on the A4. The work will span several years until December 18, 2032 and will not only disrupt traffic but also test the patience of drivers. The [News.de](https://www.news.de/auto/858665719/verkehrsmelde-nw-koeln-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-baustelle-von-01-06 -2025-to-December-18-2032-restrictions-on-traffic-north-rhine-westphalia-danger of traffic jams-in-lindenthal-rodenkirchen-on-a4/1/) reports that there will be traffic restrictions from 5:00 a.m. onwards.

Traffic disruptions are expected
Due to the extensive construction work, traffic jams and slowdowns are to be expected, especially in the affected areas. According to Stau-A4, the first traffic flow bottlenecks can already be observed. For commuters who want to travel into the city center from neighboring districts, it will be important to always keep an eye on the current traffic situation.
In addition, construction sites are planned for further sections of the A4. For example, from June 4th to 6th, a construction site between Langerwehe and Rur-Scholle will affect traffic, as Verkehrslage.de reports.
Future construction sites and traffic jam risks
The construction work on the A4 is only part of the broader renovation plan in North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition to the sections mentioned, there are also numerous other construction sites that are planned for the coming months and will cause traffic disruptions. Drivers should always be prepared and take any detours into their travel plans.
For everyone who regularly uses the A4, it is important to remain patient and consider alternative routes in order to be affected as little as possible by the upcoming disruptions. The next few years will bring with them some challenges, but in the long term the measures should ensure an improvement in the traffic situation in Cologne and the surrounding area.
