A43 in the Ruhr area: Two weeks of full closure threaten again!

In another wave of construction work, the A43, one of the main traffic arteries of North Rhine-Westphalia, is completely blocked between Bochum-Riemke and Herne-Eickel for two weeks. The decision follows for years of work that started in 2014 and are to expand the highway from four to six lanes. According to Anton Kurenbach from Autobahn GmbH, bridge work is the reason for the closure. Two smaller bridges have to be torn down and the areas then have to be filled.

more precise periods for the blocking have not yet been determined, but Kurenbach assures that the public is informed promptly. These comprehensive work on the "new A43" affects a total of about 28 kilometers of the route and have often confronted drivers in the Ruhr area with additional disorders and detours. Previous closures, such as in summer between Bochum and Recklinghausen, are part of this lengthy project that is supposed to tackle the traffic problem in the region.
