Rhine Tunnel in Dusseldorf-Oberkassel to remain shut for consecutive weekends in March
The Rhine-Allee Tunnel in Düsseldorf will be undergoing maintenance work on its power supply system during the weekends of March 3-6 and March 17-20. As a result, the tunnel will be closed for 72 hours each weekend, starting at 10:00 PM and ending at 5:00 AM.
During these closures, traffic participants should expect the following detours:
- For traffic heading towards Neuss/city outbound, the detour will be via Düsseldorf Street, Paris Street, Krefelder Street, Böhler Street, and Neusser Street to the Buederich junction.
- Coming from Neuss, the detour in the direction of the city inbound will be via Brussels Street.
- For traffic heading towards Tonhalle, the second detour will be through the Rhine embankment tunnel, Oberkasseler Bridge, Luegallee, Belsen Street, and Düsseldorf Street.
It's important to note that these detours are separate from the maintenance work on the Rhine-Allee Tunnel's power supply system. The closures will affect traffic in both directions of the tunnel, but the detours do not apply during the week when the Rhine-Allee Tunnel is not closed for maintenance work.
The maintenance work requires a full closure of the Rhine-Allee Tunnel for safety reasons. The closures are due to the replacement of the low-voltage main distribution for power supply.
For accurate information about the March 2023 closure and detours for the Rhine-Allee Tunnel, we recommend checking official city or transport authority websites for Düsseldorf or the relevant city where the tunnel is located. Additionally, local traffic advisories or press releases from early 2023, as well as transportation planning or infrastructure project updates from regional governments, may provide more details.
We hope this information helps in your travel plans during the specified dates. Safe travels!
