Traffic chaos in Cologne: A1 closure leads to massive traffic jams at the weekend!

Lindenthal, Deutschland - in North Rhine-Westphalia, especially Cologne, drivers will face considerable traffic disruptions from June 15, 2025. A not inconsiderable traffic blocking on the A1 motorway comes into force. This affects the period from 9:00 p.m. on June 15 to 5:00 a.m. on June 16, 2025 and is necessary due to bridge work. The central office of the traffic management of the State Road Construction NRW state company has already warned that increased traffic loads can be expected. This could lead to traffic jams, especially on the Cologne-West cross and the transition to the A4 towards Heerlen/Aachen. [news.de] reports that drivers should plan alternative routes during this time to avoid unnecessary delays.

In addition to the blocking at Cologne, there is also a construction site on the A1 between the Lüxem rest area and the Wittlich-Mitte exit towards Trier. This will also be active on June 15, 2025 and ensures a separation of the directional lane from 07:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The traffic information from [trafficinformation.de] recommend several diversions for travelers who are traveling towards Koblenz or Trier.

The traffic in the opposite direction is also diverted.
