Traffic chaos in Solingen: traffic jam alarm on A3 and A46!

What is happening in the traffic world around Solingen? Today, June 15, 2025, the roads here are anything but free of traffic jams and delays. The Solinger Tageblatt has compiled the latest news to keep all commuters and travelers up to date.

The traffic situation is continuously monitored - a collaboration with“TomTom”enables precise data evaluation. GPS data from millions of devices as well as information from around 80 million mobile devices and several million road sensors are updated every five minutes. This is particularly evident on the main traffic arteries such as the A3, which was the number 1 traffic jam route in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2023.

Construction sites and traffic jams

Particularly noteworthy is the ongoing construction work at the Solingen junction on the A3. These fall into the category of the most important roads in North Rhine-Westphalia, which also includes the A46, A1 as well as numerous federal and country roads, including the B229 and B224. The A1 is also not at its best, as there were around 6,500 hours of traffic jams per year between Cologne and Dortmund.

There is currently an unsecured accident site on the A1 between the Leverkusen junction and the entrance to the A3 in the direction of Oberhausen, like this Traffic jam.info already reported in the morning. In addition, one lane on the A46 in the direction of Düsseldorf is closed because an accident investigation is being carried out.

Current traffic reports

The latest reports once again confirm the precarious situation on the highways. A dangerous situation was recently reported on the A1 due to an oncoming vehicle, but this no longer exists. There were also short-term warnings about broken down vehicles for commuters between Krefeld and Cologne, but these have now been lifted.

Another important aspect of traffic is the ongoing discussion about the traffic infrastructure, which is supported by data from the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) is supported. The annual statistical handbook 'Traffic in Numbers' highlights not only traffic jam times, but also developments in the entire transport sector in Germany and the EU.

With the ongoing discussion about traffic improvements and the ongoing construction projects, it is clear: something is happening! A constant improvement in the traffic situation will be of great importance not only for commuters, but also for the entire Solingen region. We will continue to keep you up to date on developments and the current traffic situation.
