Full closure of the A40 in Duisburg: Massive effects for commuters!

In March 2025, road users in Duisburg expect a significant full closure on the A40 motorway, which brings significant restrictions for both commuters and travelers. According to derwesten.de , the A40 will be closed in both directions from Friday, March 14, 9 p.m. to Monday, 5 p.m.

The affected area extends from the Duisburg motorway junction to the Duisburg-Kaiserberg motorway junction. During this time, the A40 will not be accessible in the direction of Essen from the Duisburg motorway junction and in the direction of Venlo from the Duisburg-Kaiserberg junction.

diversions and recommendations

DERY lines are set up to maintain the flow of traffic, but a large -scale bypass of the blocked area is recommended. Commuters who rely on the A40 are particularly affected. Autobahn GmbH makes it clear that the diversions cannot meet all traffic flows.

In addition, drivers on the A3 must also expect further restrictions. The exit to the A40 in the direction of Venlo is closed both from Cologne and from Oberhausen's direction of travel. However, while the driveway towards Essen remains possible, this will impair the way to work.

background of the construction work

The reason for the full closure is necessary construction measures, in particular the establishment of a supporting structure for the central structure (BW2). This work is essential to secure and improve the region's transport infrastructure in the long term.

For current information on other construction sites and blocking, it is recommended to look at interactive websites such as Beautiful-check.de, which represent current permanent construction sites on Germany's motorway network. There, users can filter according to various criteria such as the type, speed limit and remaining working time.
