Fasten your seat belt: traffic restrictions on the A46 from November 12th!
Tomorrow, November 12, 2025, road users will experience noticeable restrictions on the A46 in North Rhine-Westphalia due to road construction work. These will significantly impact the affected sections from 8am to 5pm, so commuters and travelers are advised to exercise greater caution.
Overall, numerous sections are affected, including the route between the Hüsten (64) and Neheim-Süd (63) exits in the direction of Arnsberg-Neheim and between Neheim-Süd (63) and Hüsten (64) in the direction of Brilon. In addition, the right lane between the Bestwig exit (71) and Meschede (70), specifically between the Gränscheid valley bridge and Meschede, will be closed, thus narrowing the road to just one lane. Increased traffic volumes and possible traffic jams are to be expected, particularly in these areas. Therefore, drivers should consider alternative routes where possible.
Traffic situation and risk of traffic jams
Current reports show that the traffic situation on the A46 is already tense today. An average speed of only 48 km/h was reported between Düsseldorf and Heinsberg, while between Wuppertal and Düsseldorf only 27 km/h was achieved. These values are a clear sign of the difficult traffic situation, which could become even worse tomorrow with the construction work. Correct planning and time flexibility are therefore required.
Future construction sites and measures
If you take a look at the coming days, there will be more construction sites on the A46. An example is the Uentrop – Wennemen section, where work is planned from November 17, 2025, 8:00 p.m. to November 18, 2025, 6:00 a.m. There will also be construction sites here in the following days, which should be completed by December 12, 2025. In addition, safety retrofitting will take place in the Olpe and Hemberg tunnels between November 11th and 15th and again from November 24th to 29th.
The A46 stretches over 149.2 kilometers from Heinsberg to Olsberg and is heavily frequented due to its important connection character. It is all the more important that the already announced road safety measures are not lost sight of. Drivers must not become careless, especially in times of high traffic, and should always pay attention to traffic information.
In summary, anyone using the A46 on Tuesday, November 12th should be prepared for delays and perhaps leave early in order to reach their destination without stress.
