Traffic chaos in Siegerland: construction sites and train cancellations on July 13th!
Current traffic and construction site information for Aachen and the surrounding area on July 13, 2025: restrictions, delays and alternatives.
Traffic chaos in Siegerland: construction sites and train cancellations on July 13th!
In the Siegerland, Wittgenstein region and the Olpe and Altenkirchen districts, traffic is currently not running without problems. These challenges affect drivers and train passengers alike. Current information on construction sites, full closures and train cancellations have become a major topic in the transport sector.
The **rail connections**, especially the RE9 from Siegen to Cologne, are affected by frequent delays and cancellations. In the period from July 11th to 14th, 2025 there will also be significant restrictions on several lines due to switch work. Travelers must be prepared that the RE 12 does not run between Cologne Messe/Deutz and Euskirchen. The RE 22 is also experiencing partial cancellations, with Hürth-Kalscheuren being offered as a replacement stop. The RB 24 has similar problems to the RE 8 and RE 9 railway lines, which are being rerouted in the direction of Mönchengladbach and Aachen and have stopped stops in Cologne Messe/Deutz and Cologne Hbf. So if you rely on rail, you should take a look at the current timetables as a precaution or perhaps better switch to the bus, which is available as a replacement rail service.
Current construction sites and traffic disruptions
The **construction site landscape** is no less complicated. Italian traffic signs are available in the hustle and bustle of the construction projects, because there is a lot of work going on on the federal highway 508 in Kredenbach, which leads to traffic jams. Construction work is also underway in Allenbach, although the exact impact on traffic is still to be seen. Particular attention is being paid to the Schleifmühlchen mega-project, which includes the construction of a new roundabout. The first construction phase began here in May 2023 and residents are hoping for relief soon. This work falls into the category of permanent construction sites, which can remain continuous and for long periods of time. They are part of a sophisticated plan that also takes travel times and major events into account so as not to unnecessarily disrupt traffic flow.
There are different types of construction sites for drivers. There are shorter daily construction sites that often take less than 24 hours and during which lanes are usually temporarily opened or closed. There are also night construction sites where work during the day is not possible. Whether during construction or through rail replacement services – patience is the order of the day.
Traffic channel and current information
For anyone interested, it is good to hear that the Siegener Zeitung has a free Whatsapp channel that has already reached around 17,000 subscribers. Current news about transport and construction projects is constantly provided here. This means you can always stay informed about developments in the region and plan diversions better.
In this turbulent phase, it is important to keep a cool head, whether while waiting for the bus or in a traffic jam. The construction site management strategies and rail replacement services are stone companions on the way to better transport connections in the future. So stay tuned and take advantage of the options available to you! Further information can be found on the website Siegen newspaper, VRS and Roads NRW.
