Nightly Closure of Rhine-Ferth Tunnel in Dusseldorf for Repairs
Heyo there! Here's the lowdown on the upcoming Rhine River tunnel closure from June 12 to June 16. Between 10 pm and 5 am, both directions of the tunnel will be off-limits, but don't worry, detour signs will lead the way.
What caused this closure, you ask? Well, some fool driving a vehicle that was taller than a giraffe managed to scrape the heat conduction cables of the fire alarm system on the tunnel ceiling. Oopsie daisy!
But fear not! From Friday morning (16.6.), the tunnel will be open for business again, night owls included, even under Gladbacher Straße.
While they're at it, they'll tackle more than just the repairs. They'll also be conducting annual function tests of the central control technology, fixing up the speed measurement system, and calibrating it all within the tunnel. It's like giving the old girl a much-needed spa day!
If you want more nitty-gritty details, consult local news sources or official announcements from the transportation authorities. good luck, and safe travels!
