Traffic jam horror in Siegen: Current traffic problems on the A45 and B62!

In these turbulent times, where traffic sometimes gets a little chaotic, it's good to take a regular look at the current situation. Today, October 27th, 2025, there are interesting developments surrounding the traffic situation in and around Siegen. Key roads such as the A45, B62 and B54 are currently in focus and the latest information shows both positive and challenging aspects.

According to the Siegener Zeitung, there are now a number of traffic jam warnings that provide an overview of roads with delays of more than five minutes. The data is provided in real time and comes from a partnership with TomTom, a service that uses GPS coordinates from millions of devices. In addition, information comes from around 80 million mobile devices and several million official road sensors, which are updated every five minutes. Other providers such as Google Maps and Apple Maps, which also contribute to the traffic reports, also provide a comprehensive picture.

Current traffic jam and traffic situation

What's new on the highways? The A45 from Gießen to Hagen, which is often known for traffic jams, has some good news today: After several incidents that were reported in the last few days, the accident site between Freudenberg and Olpe has now been cleared and the report has been revoked. This is a relief for all commuters who often have to venture into this area.

However, there are also current reports of traffic disruptions. On the A45, the right lane between the Eisernhardt service area and the Siegtal Bridge will be closed from October 29th, 2025 to October 30th, 2025 due to construction work. In addition, restrictions due to a road narrowing are expected this evening between the Rälsbach valley bridge and Siegen-Süd. Commuters should therefore adapt their routes accordingly and consider alternative routes if necessary.

A look at the B54 and the A4 also shows that all lanes between Kreuztal and Wenden were cleared after incidents, which is certainly a relief. The A4 from Cologne to Olpe also reports positive news: all lanes are clear here and ensure a smooth flow of traffic.

Tips for avoiding traffic jams

To ensure stress-free journeys, it's worth taking a look at the traffic jam map, which not only shows traffic jams in the region, but also offers a live overview of the traffic situation throughout Germany. This information is available both on mobile and online and is invaluable, especially in these times.

Another note for all drivers: traffic jams can not only disrupt your schedule, but can also put a strain on your nerves. Experts recommend checking traffic reports before setting off. Practical tips for avoiding stress in traffic jams are just as helpful as taking deep breaths or listening to relaxing music. Finally, the emergency lane should not be forgotten - its formation is crucial to allow emergency vehicles quick access.
