A3 complete closure near Emmerich: 57 hours of traffic jams and diversions!
An exciting weekend awaits drivers in the region. The A3 will be completely closed from Friday, November 7th, 8 p.m. to Monday, November 10th, 5 a.m. Ruhr24 reports that this closure lasts 57 hours. The reason for the measures is the demolition and replacement of five old prestressed concrete bridges that date from the 1960s. These bridges are located between Emmerich and Rees and are scheduled to be rebuilt by January 2027 at the latest.
If you want to travel to Arnhem or Oberhausen, you have to be prepared for longer travel times. The diversion via the A42 and A57 has already been signposted, but it could still be a challenge for many drivers as the new diversions are likely to be heavily used. Commuters in particular should expect traffic jams and traffic jams.
Closures and other road safety measures
The closure of the A3 focuses not only on the bridge work, but also on the need for expansions and modernizations by mid-2027. Another narrow time window focuses on the closure of the A3 between the Oberhausen-West and Breitscheid motorway junctions from November 7th, 8 p.m. to November 17th, 5 a.m. Bridge work in the Kaiserberg Cross is the reason for the restrictions. A diversion via the A42, A59 and A524 is also signposted here.
The demolitions and preparations are necessary not only to make room for a new road, but also to improve noise protection and increase the number of lanes. These construction measures are particularly important because the bridges play a central role in national transport and the local economy.
For the population in the border area and agriculture, this means that they will have to expect further restrictions on traffic until 2027. A good hand is required to get the challenges of the diversion under control.
Things will be very busy on the roads in the coming weeks, and those who plan well can face traffic jams and longer journey times with more calm.
