Roadblock on A59 between Monheim and Richrath towards Düsseldorf, lasting until 5 July
The Autobahn GmbH Rhineland has announced urgent repair work on the A59 between Monheim and Richrath in Düsseldorf. Here's what you need to know about the upcoming road closures and detours.
Repair Work Details
The repair work, scheduled to begin on June 29th, will last until early August. During this period, the A59 will be closed between Monheim and Richrath, with the exception of a one-lane opening between Richrath junction and the Wolfshagen rest area, which remains until early August.
The closure is necessary due to the poor condition of the A59, requiring immediate measures to ensure traffic safety. The repair work will involve the replacement of over 60 damaged concrete slabs.
Full Closure and Detours
For the full closure expected in autumn 2025, authorities will publish detailed detour routes in advance. During partial closures like the one from June 29 to early August, traffic will be redirected onto nearby highways or major roads parallel to the A59, often using the A3 or local Bundesstraßen (federal roads).
For the most accurate and official detour information, it is best to consult local traffic authorities such as the Straßen.NRW website or Düsseldorf city traffic updates, as they manage highway maintenance and closures.
Coordinated Efforts
The repair of the A59 is being coordinated closely with local municipalities, traffic authorities, and traffic centres to minimise disruptions. A detour via the Monheim-South motorway interchange, A542, A3, and Hilden motorway interchange or further on A46 to Düsseldorf-South motorway junction will be signposted with a red dot.
Between Richrath junction and the Wolfshagen rest area, only one lane will be open until early August. A local bypass is available via Knipprather, Düsseldorf, and Berghausener streets during the closure.
Timeline
The full closure of the A59 can be lifted as early as Saturday evening, 5.7.2025, but the repair of the A59 between Düsseldorf-South and Monheim-South is not part of this closure. The comprehensive repair of the A59 between Düsseldorf-South and Monheim-South is scheduled for autumn 2025.
The A59 road works are taking place in the direction of Düsseldorf. A delay of the urgent measure is not possible.
This urgent repair work on the A59 is of high urgency due to traffic safety priority. For the latest updates and detour plans, be sure to check with local traffic authorities closer to the closure dates.
