Roadway Obstructed: Collapse of Bridge in Velbert Results in Main Road Closure
In Velbert-Nierenhof, the state authority Straßen NRW has confirmed the closure of Bonsfelder Straße due to damage to a small bridge just before the railway crossing. This closure is affecting traffic coming from Nierenhof before the railway crossing.
As a result, the local bus line OV8 is being temporarily rerouted. Between "Pollen" and the Nierenhof bus station, line OV8 will run without intermediate stops, which also applies for the return trip. However, the detour for bus line OV8 does not include the stops "Wilhelmshöhe", "Lerchenstraße", "Am Sonnenhang", and "Nierenhof Bahnhof".
The detour for the local bus service is being worked out, but as of now, no information about alternative routes for motorists is available. Pedestrians and cyclists can still cross the damaged bridge on Bonsfelder Straße, but a detour for them is not mentioned in the article.
For the direction to Velbert (ZOB), bus OV8 will follow the same detour route as described above. In the direction of Nierenhof, bus OV8 will depart from the "Pollen" stop via Voßnacker Straße, Kuhler Straße, Voßkuhlstraße, Heegerstraße, and Bonsfelder Straße to the Nierenhofer bus station.
To find the latest detour information for local bus line OV8, it is recommended to check the official website or social media channels of the local public transport provider in Velbert, such as VER (Verkehrsgesellschaft Ennepe-Ruhr) or VRR (Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr). Looking for posted notices at bus stops along the OV8 route and using local transit apps or contacting the customer service of the bus operator directly can also provide up-to-date routing information.
The duration of the closure of Bonsfelder Straße in Velbert-Nierenhof is not yet known. More information about the closure will be provided as it becomes available. It is advisable to stay updated to ensure a smooth commute during this time.
- The disruption in traffic due to the closure of Bonsfelder Straße is affecting not only vehicles but also the local bus service, with bus line OV8 having to divert its route in the direction of Nierenhof, passing through Voßnacker Straße, Kuhler Straße, Voßkuhlstraße, Heegerstraße, and Bonsfelder Straße.
- The finance, transportation, and industry sectors in Velbert-Nierenhof might face challenges due to the unexpected closure of Bonsfelder Straße, as the disruption affects local bus services and the traffic coming from Nierenhof before the railway crossing.
