Germany: complete closure of the A43 – diversion for through traffic
The closure is connected with the construction of a tunnel near the Herne intersection.
The A43 motorway will be completely closed from 9 PM on Friday, July 26, to 5:00 AM on Monday, July 29, in both directions between Bochum-Riemke and the Recklinghausen junction – with one exception: the Recklinghausen-Hochlarmark junction towards Münster remains open.
Through traffic will be diverted via the A40, A45 and A42 or A2. During the closure, the motorway surface at the Herne junction will also be replaced. The closure will also be used to set up a new diversion route, which will be in use for a period of two weeks owing to the detection of what is believed to be a bomb between Bochum-Riemke and Herne-Eickel.
