Danger of A2 traffic jams: Massive construction sites in North Rhine-Westphalia from August 12, 2025!
The traffic situation in North Rhine-Westphalia is imminent, as drivers can soon be prepared for significant restrictions. On August 12, 2025 from 8:00 p.m. until August 13, 2025 until 5:00 a.m., patience is requested on the A2 in the Bad Salzuflen and Herford area due to construction site work. The reason for this is two construction sites that are blocking both left lanes and narrowing the road to one lane. And this can lead to increased traffic and traffic jams, especially in the evening and at night. Like [News.de](https://www.news.de/auto/858847861/verkehrsmelde-nw-bad-salzuflen-herford-lippe-herford-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen -construction-site-from-12-08-2025-to-13-08-2025-restrictions-on-traffic-north-rhine-westphalia-danger-of-traffic-traffic-in-schwarzenmoor-on-a2/1/) reported, the first construction site is at the Herford-Ost exit (AS 30) in the direction of Dortmund. The second construction site is in Schwarzenmoor (AS 29) in the direction of Hanover.
But difficulties are not only to be expected on the A2. There are also changes in Cologne that will affect the routes of road users. From August 22, 2025 to August 25, 2025, the A559 carriageway in Cologne-Gremberg will be closed between the K-Gremberg intersection and Cologne-Gremberghoven. This means that commuters will have to prepare for diversions to avoid the construction site. Recommended alternative routes are via various motorways, such as the A4 and A3, and are intended to direct traffic around the construction site. Verkehrsinformation.de provides detailed information on this.
Efficient traffic planning and construction site coordination
The rapid changes in the transport network are not without background. The North Rhine-Westphalia State Road Construction Office looks after over 5,500 traffic lights and plans to control them even more effectively in the future. For this purpose, a central monitoring center for the traffic signals is being set up in order to optimize the traffic flow and avoid misunderstandings between different construction projects. The construction site coordination department also plays a central role by acting as an interface between various construction agencies and doing everything it can to resolve conflicts.
In the future, the state company wants to implement a construction site information system that collects digital data about construction sites and records their impact on traffic in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Landesverkehrszentrale NRW also plans to operate the necessary technical equipment for safety in tunnels and other critical traffic infrastructure. This also includes modern sensors for detecting slippery roads and traffic detectors.
Preparations for the upcoming construction sites and the associated restrictions are in full swing. Drivers should keep up to date in advance and during this time via the information portals offered by Verkehr.NRW. This way they could find the best route in a relaxed manner and reach their destination on time despite the tense traffic situation.
