Traffic chaos on the A45: restrictions in Werdorf until 2028!

Drivers on the A45 are facing a number of challenges this week. From April 30, 2025, the motorway will be severely restricted in the section between Werdorf and Aßlar until November 30, 2027. These traffic restrictions are necessary in order to build replacement bridges and to carry out other construction work that the authorities have planned over a longer period of time. News.de reports that ….

The construction work affects the total road width of 6.25 meters and traffic is expected to flow at a slow pace. A speed limit of 80 km/h will apply throughout the entire renovation phase. Road users should prepare for possible traffic jams and delays, particularly in the section from km 157.85 to km 161.755.

Traffic situation on the A45

The A45 is known for its busy routes and attracts countless commuters every day. There have been particularly recent reports of wrong-way drivers on the route between Wölfersheim and Gambacher Kreuz, which need to be covered. Stau.info reports that....

• A45 Aschaffenburg → Gießen: Falschfahrer zwischen Wölfersheim und Gambacher Kreuz.
• A45 Dortmund → Hagen: Stau zwischen Kreuz Castrop-Rauxel-Ost und Dortmund-Hafen.
• A45 Hagen → Gießen: Aktuell keine Verkehrsbehinderungen, alle Unfallstellen sind geräumt.

Traffic jams are particularly common in the morning hours, traffic information reports. For example, there are 3 kilometers of traffic jams between the Dortmund-West junction and Dortmund-Hafen, which can significantly increase travel time. The regions around Dortmund are currently struggling with bottlenecks and temporary restrictions in traffic flow.

Commuters and travelers should also be prepared for the fact that the construction work on the A45 is expected to cause increases in the frequency of traffic jams until the end of 2027 as a result of the renovation work. This particularly affects drivers who regularly travel between cities on this route.

Future developments

What happens next? The entire measure is scheduled to be completed by January 31, 2028. Until then, it remains to be seen how the diversions will affect traffic flow. Although the construction work is necessary to improve the infrastructure in the long term, drivers will probably have to be patient.

Stay informed and plan your trips accordingly. Transport authorities advise considering alternative routes not only for convenience but also to save time. If you check the route in good time, you can avoid a lot of stress. From current events, drivers can only learn how to deal with traffic news correctly.
