Traffic chaos in Remscheid: traffic jam warnings on the A1, A46 and more!
Today, September 18, 2025, the traffic situation in the Remscheid, Wermelskirchen and surrounding areas is particularly tense. Current reports from RGA show that there have already been delays on the main arteries of the transport network. Motorway traffic on the A1, one of the main traffic jams in Germany, is suffering from massive disruptions, with around 6,500 hours of traffic jams between Cologne and Dortmund.
The A46, which is considered a connection between Düsseldorf and Wuppertal, as well as the federal highways B51, B229 and B237 are particularly affected. The latter are crucial for commuters from the region. The reconstruction of the Wuppertal-Nord motorway junction, a major road construction project, has added to the existing problems.
A look at the current sources of congestion
The B51 federal highway extends from the A1 Burscheid entrance to the Trecknase junction in Remscheid, while the B229 is an important connection between Radevormwald and Remscheid. Drivers also have to be prepared for delays on the B237, which connects Wipperfürth with Hückeswagen and Remscheid. Traffic jams often arise, especially around the A1 entrances and exits in Burscheid. The real-time data from Traffic jam card provide information about the current traffic situation and enable users to get an overview by zooming on the map.
The risk of traffic jams is particularly increased on Mondays and Fridays, even at certain times, such as from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Studies show that stress in traffic jams often leads to aggressiveness, which is why it can make sense to check the traffic jam and traffic reports before setting off. If you leave on time or consider alternative routes, you can avoid potential traffic jams.
