Full closure of the A2: This is how it affects commuters in North Rhine-Westphalia this weekend!
Drivers in North Rhine-Westphalia have to be prepared for some disruptions. From then onJune 20that 9 p.m. untilJune 22ndAt 9 a.m. the A2 will be completely closed in both directions between the Herten junction and the Recklinghausen junction. The reason for this measure is to strengthen the bridge over Münsterstrasse, which requires the installation of new supports. During this time, no vehicle will be allowed to cross the bridge, making travel significantly more difficult for commuters and travelers. Ruhr24 reports that drivers are being asked to plan alternative routes and to expect increased traffic volumes in the diversion regions.
In addition, the A42 in the western Ruhr area between Duisburg-Beeckerwerth and Duisburg-Baerl will also be closed for the same period. Immediately before, untilJune 16th, the A42 between Bottrop and Essen is also completely closed. These extensive construction sites will not only affect commuters, but also holidaymakers and logistics companies that rely on these transport routes.

The A2 has recently repeatedly caused traffic jams and disruptions. The current traffic situation on the A2 between different sections shows that numerous disruptions have already been eliminated, but others remain Stau.info points out that this will not cause short-term traffic problems. What is also interesting is what the statistical handbook “Traffic in Numbers” from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) reveals about traffic development. This comprehensive annual compilation has been used by political decision-makers, companies and the transport industry for over 40 years KBA informs that the current edition for the 2024/2025 vintage has been available since February. This gives players from the industry comprehensive insights into traffic events, which is particularly important in times like these. In summary, the coming weeks will be challenging for drivers in the region. Planning trips early and taking possible detours into account are therefore essential in order to reach your destination without stress.Traffic in numbers
