Construction work on Dillinger Straße: closure from October 29th!
Cologne, October 27, 2025 – There is currently a lot of “excavator turning” on Dillinger Strasse. In recent months, the city of Cologne has made great efforts to replace the water supply pipes and lay new district heating pipes. These extensive renovations not only result in an improvement in the infrastructure, but also a complete redesign of the street area so that citizens can benefit from an even more pleasant environment in the future.
The climax of the measures is now imminent: From Wednesday, October 29th, from around 8 a.m., Dillinger Straße will be closed on both sides in the curve area to Augsburger Straße and at the entrance to the market square. The asphalting work is expected to last until Friday, October 31st. To prevent traffic from coming to a standstill, through traffic will be rerouted via the B16. Access to the market square remains possible via the Stadtberg during this time. So anyone planning a visit should be prepared for the detours.
A look at the civil engineering work
What exactly is happening there underground? During the ongoing work, various pipes and cables are coming to light that are important for the water supply and district heating supply. During civil engineering work like the one currently taking place on Dillinger Strasse, lines that are normally hidden are laid and partially replaced. The variety of pipes and cables shown in different colors shows how complex the supply line system is. This makes it clear how closely this infrastructure is linked to our everyday lives.
The city of Cologne wants all construction work to go as smoothly as possible. The measures depend on the weather and can only be carried out in dry weather. Those responsible ask for your understanding for any inconveniences during the closures and hope that all work will be completed as quickly as possible.
Overall, with this measure, Cologne has a good knack for improving the transport and supply infrastructure and thus not only increasing the quality of life, but also making the location more attractive. All of this is important to the city, and residents can look forward to relief soon.
