Traffic chaos in Düsseldorf: traffic jams and closures on match day!

Football fans in Düsseldorf, watch out! This Sunday, November 2nd, 2025, Rotterdamer Straße will become a traffic-calmed zone from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The reason for this is the exciting match between Fortuna Düsseldorf and 1. FC Kaiserslautern. [news.de](https://www.news.de/amp/auto/859044298/verkehrsmelde-nw-duesseldorf-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-einschraenku ng-on-02-11-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-north-rhine-westphalia-danger of traffic jams-in-district-5-on-rotterdamer-strasse/1/) reports that increased traffic and possible traffic jams are expected in the area around the arena on this day.

To minimize travel stress, it is recommended to use public transport. The U78 subway line offers a direct connection between Düsseldorf Central Station and the Arena. There are also large parking spaces available nearby, which can be reached via the A44 (exhibition fair/arena junction) and Rotterdamer Straße Rheinufer.

Traffic regulations during the EM 2024

These restrictions are just a taste of what the city can expect during the 2024 UEFA European Championship. Düsseldorf will serve as the venue for exciting football games over a total of five days and will also attract many fans. According to rp-online, there will be extensive road closures and diversions in the area around the arena.

On match days (June 17th, 21st, 24th and July 1st and 6th) the following streets will be closed to traffic:

  • Heinz-Ingenstau-Straße
  • Rotterdamer Straße
  • Teile der Beckbuschstraße
  • Stockumer Kirchstraße
  • Cecilienallee (Verkehr in Richtung Norden wird abgeleitet)

Fans can use the “Rhine Walk”, a special footpath from Burgplatz to the arena that is being set up for the European Championship event. Residents receive transit rights and can reach their residential areas via certain streets.

Attention cyclists and e-scooter users!

The city has also taken precautions to ensure that cyclists are affected head-on. There are diversions for the Rhine cycle path on the right bank of the Rhine between the Rhine knee bridge and the Oberkassel bridge during the European Championships. Cyclists heading south will be rerouted along various streets, including Heinrich-Heine-Allee and Königsallee. It is recommended to use alternative parking options for bicycles and e-scooters at Rheinbad and on Rotterdamer Straße, as they cannot be parked directly at the arena during the European Championships.

In addition, some sharing stations will be closed during the European Championships, including those at Messeplatz and Mühlenstrasse. However, the city has set up alternative alternative stations to ensure the mobility of fans. t-online.de has published further information about the affected sharing stations.

For everyone who wants to experience the European Championships in Düsseldorf, this means: A good hand in planning your journey and using public transport or bicycles are essential in order to avoid the traffic chaos and be at the stadium on time!
