Traffic chaos at the weekend: A43 between Haltern and Dülmen closed!
An important note for all drivers: As of this evening, the A43 in the Haltern am See and Dülmen area is affected by a construction site that will last until tomorrow morning. The work will begin at 8:00 p.m. and is scheduled to last around ten hours until it is scheduled to be completed at 6:00 a.m. on August 11, 2025. How news.de reported, the right lane will be closed during this time. Only one lane will be accessible, which may lead to increased traffic volumes and possibly traffic jams.
The affected route between the Lavesum (7) and Dülmen-Nord (5) motorway junctions is known for its heavy traffic, especially at peak times. Drivers should expect delays during construction work. Road users traveling in this region are asked to consider alternative routes or at least allow more time for their journeys.
More construction sites on the A43
The construction site on the A43 is not the only one. There are also restrictions on other sections of this important traffic artery. Loud verkehrslage.de Extensive work is underway until August 19, 2026 in various areas, including between Bochum-Riemke and Herne-Eickel and at the Bochum intersection. Here, among other things, traffic is routed over the oncoming lane, which further complicates the situation.
Another example of the ongoing construction work is the route between Recklinghausen-Hochlarmark and Kreuz Herne, where construction work will also continue until the end of November. Drivers should always keep themselves informed about the current traffic situation in order to reach their destination in a relaxed manner.
Construction site management and traffic safety
In order to better manage the traffic situation during construction work, the Landesbetrieb Straßen.NRW is introducing different types of construction sites. Most are day or night construction sites that are set up depending on the time frame required and traffic volume. How on strassen.nrw.de As can be read, these construction sites are usually set up in places where the least possible traffic restrictions can be guaranteed during the day.
The decision to carry out construction work at night is often a necessity to minimize the impact on road traffic during peak hours. Nevertheless, it never hurts to always keep an eye on the current status of the construction sites on longer journeys. If you prepare well, you can reduce the risk of missing an appointment and enjoy the journey.
In view of the upcoming road work on the A43 in North Rhine-Westphalia, it is important for all road users to keep their ears open and pay attention to the signposted diversions and warnings. If the construction period goes without any major problems, traffic will hopefully get rolling again quickly.
