Traffic chaos in Dülken: A61 construction site causes massive traffic jams!

A look at the A61 motorway in North Rhine-Westphalia shows that drivers have to prepare for some traffic disruptions today, July 19, 2025. From 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. there will be construction work in the area between the Mackenstein junction (8) and the Mönchengladbach-Nordpark junction (10) in the direction of Venlo. The right lane will be closed, meaning the roadway will narrow to a single lane. Traffic jams and traffic disruptions cannot therefore be ruled out. [News.de](https://www.news.de/amp/auto/858775147/verkehrsmelde-nw-duelken-viersen-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-bau position-from-19-07-2025-to-20-07-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-north-rhine-westphalia-danger-of-congestion-in-hoser-on-a61/1/) reports that this closure will last until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Drivers are advised to avoid the construction site if possible or to prepare for longer travel times. In recent years, road traffic in the region has increased, highlighting the need for maintenance and repair work. An overview of the current construction sites on the A61 shows that similar restrictions can also be expected in other places, such as between the Hunsrück Ost service area and Rheinböllen until 2029. Verkehrslage.de lists current construction sites and thus gives a good overview of the traffic challenges that drivers will have to expect in the coming years.

Further construction sites and transport infrastructure

The construction site on the A61 is not the only one in the region. In addition to the already mentioned bridge work between Hunsrück Ost and Rheinböllen, extensive work between Koblenz and Ludwigshafen is also in full swing. These construction activities are only part of the extensive transport planning that is intended to ensure long-term mobility in the region. forschungsinformationssystem.de emphasizes that mobility data and statistics play an important role in the development of transport strategies. Data on traffic flows and usage behavior are crucial for effective investments in transport infrastructure.

The constant collection and analysis of mobility data enables planners to identify current and future traffic requirements more accurately. This happens, for example, as part of the annual publication “Traffic in Numbers” by the Federal Ministry of Transport, which has been a standard work in Germany for over 50 years. Thanks to such studies, those responsible in the region know what measures are necessary to avoid traffic jams and optimize traffic flow.

Finally, it should be noted that the construction work on the A61 will affect some road users from this evening. Through preventative measures and the use of mobility data, traffic disruptions can be addressed more specifically in the future. If you want to drive on the A61 today, you should plan well in advance and, if necessary, consider alternative routes so that the journey does not become a test of patience.
