Road closure on a significant bypass in Lüdenscheid, in effect since early Friday morning.

Lüdenscheid, Germany - After weeks of increased traffic on detour routes due to the closure of the Rahmedetal bridge on the A45, the city is set to see some relief as repair work on one of the affected routes, "Im Grund", begins this Friday.

The South Westphalia Special Program, a state initiative by the NRW government, is spearheading the repair work. This project aims to improve the condition of particularly stressed sections around the A45, including "Im Grund".

Unfortunately, a quick repair without full closure is not possible on "Im Grund". The road has been affected by potholes, cracks, and ruts, making it a bumpy ride for motorists. The city has reported approximately 25,000 vehicles each week using the detour routes.

The repair work is expected to commence from 5 AM on Friday, August 29, and continue until Monday, September 1. During this period, traffic will be rerouted through Heedfelder Straße, Rahmedestraße, and Altenaer Straße. Motorists are advised to allow extra time due to daily incidents of drivers getting lost and causing traffic jams.

The closure of the Rahmedetal bridge and the subsequent detour has significantly increased traffic on all routes. A total of around 100 million euros is being invested in the region to repair dilapidated roads, with more than 470 kilometers of local roads around the closed bridge set to be repaired in the coming months.

In addition to the repair work on "Im Grund", the city of Lüdenscheid plans to address more dilapidated streets in the coming months as part of ongoing efforts for street maintenance and renovation. However, specific detailed reasons or project plans for these repairs were not found in the provided search results.

The repair work on the A45 near Lüdenscheid and the subsequent detour routes are being reported on various platforms, including Studios NRW's website and audio/video content. The report on the closure is available until 29.08.2027 on Studios NRW's website.

It's important to note that the road "Im Grund" is too narrow, posing a high risk to workers. Motorists are reminded to drive carefully and follow all traffic signs and instructions during the repair work.

This repair work is a significant step towards improving the city's infrastructure and making Lüdenscheid's roads smoother and safer for all users.
