Traffic chaos in Siegerland: construction sites, complete closures and train cancellations!
In the Siegerland and Wittgenstein region, as well as in the Olpe and Altenkirchen districts, the transport routes are facing major challenges. The current traffic ticker from the Siegener Zeitung provides comprehensive information about construction sites, train cancellations and other disruptions that cause problems for commuters and travelers. Today, July 5, 2025, there are some important items on the agenda that need to be considered. Siegen newspaper reports that the train connection from Siegen to Cologne takes around 90 minutes, but is often affected by delays and cancellations. This particularly affects the RE9.
In addition, the Rothaarbahn from Bad Berleburg to Betzdorf is making a name for itself, as it also suffers from regular delays and cancellations. For everyone who relies on the train, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get to their destination on time.
Current construction sites
A central issue affecting the road is the current construction sites. A construction site is being worked on in Kredenbach in the federal highway area 508, which is causing significant traffic disruptions. Construction work is also underway in Allenbach. Particular attention is paid to the Schleifmühlchen mega project, in which the roundabout is being rebuilt. The first construction phase started in May 2023 and is expected to take some time. Such comprehensive construction projects are necessary to improve the infrastructure, but they also always entail delays.
Deutsche Bahn is on the right track when it comes to providing information. On the website bahn.de currently Users can view the disruption map, which provides an overview of current train cancellations and route interruptions. Here travelers will also find helpful functions such as departure boards and delay alarms to always stay up to date. This is particularly noticeable for commuters who want to plan their trips in advance.
Tips for commuters and travelers
Anyone who regularly takes the train should consider using the Siegener Zeitung's free WhatsApp channel. There, over 17,000 subscribers receive the latest information on traffic changes directly to their cell phones. This can offer a valuable advantage in finding out about possible delays in good time.
In addition to the construction sites, there are also other traffic obstacles in the region that need to be taken into account. Poor visibility (e.g. due to weather conditions) and technical problems can also lead to disruptions. The website of verkehrslage.de provides information about possible sources of danger and traffic disruptions.
Overall, this time is likely to be challenging for all road users. It remains to be hoped that the ongoing construction work will progress quickly in order to improve mobility in the region again.
