Full closure of the B1 in Dortmund: Be sure to note diversions for drivers

Von Kl Redaktion

The B1 in Dortmund becomes a critical point for traffic, since there is a complete block in the first week of September. Drivers who are on this important connection have to adjust to long detours and carefully plan their routes.

from Saturday, September 7th, 8pm to Monday, September 9th, 5 a.m., the B1 between the Dortmund-Olde and Holzwickede junctions is completely closed. The reason for this measure is the demolition of a bridge in Holzwickede in the Unna district. This bridge plays an essential role because it spans an economic path away from the traffic flow south of the Dortmund airport.

an important diversion plan

In order to defuse the traffic situation, the Deges, which is responsible for demolition, set up diversion routes at an early stage. It is strongly recommended to bypass the blocked B1 in large areas to avoid trouble and traffic jams. As an alternative, drivers can consider the A1 and A2 motorways as well as the federal road B236.

The diversion routes are designed in such a way that the flow of traffic remains as smooth as possible and the burden for the residents who are directly affected by the breakdown of the bridge is minimized. However, the detours should not be underestimated and drivers have to prepare for longer travel times.

Especially commuters who are regularly on the B1 should find out more about the current traffic reports and, if necessary, look for alternative roads. It could be a good idea to plan before the journey to avoid unexpected delays.

a constant challenge for Dortmund's driver

The expansion of the B1 is not just a one -off affair. In the past summer months, there were restrictions on the route due to construction work. Such closures have now become routine for many drivers in Dortmund, and it turns out that traffic management must be continuously improved in order to meet the needs of citizens.

After the block, the B1 will be fully passable again from Monday morning at 5 a.m., which should bring some relief for the road users concerned. Nevertheless, it remains to be hoped that such measures will be better coordinated in the future in order to reduce the effects on commuting and daily life rhythm of the Dortmund.
