Road Closure Ahead: Traffic Direction Specifically Impacted on This Stretch
In the coming weeks, a significant road closure will affect the Viehbachtalstraße (L141n) in Solingen. The closure, scheduled from February 10 to March 1, 2025, is due to timber harvesting works and necessary structural inspections.
Detour Route:
Traffic normally using Viehbachtalstraße is being redirected via the following main detour routes:
- Use B229 (Solinger Straße) as the primary alternative.
- Connect via Gronauer Straße or nearby local streets depending on your direction.
- Follow the signed detour signs ("Umleitung") posted around the closure area for exact navigation.
Avoiding Traffic Disruptions During Peak Hours:
- Travel outside peak hours: Avoid traveling between 7:00–9:00 AM and 4:30–6:30 PM when congestion is highest.
- Use alternate main roads: Consider routes along the B224 or A46 autobahn where possible to bypass Solingen's local road congestion.
- Public transportation: Utilize buses or trains to circumvent road closures.
- Local updates: Check local traffic reports or navigation apps (Google Maps, Waze) in real-time for the best routes.
During the closure, drivers should anticipate significant travel time increases due to potential traffic disruptions. The detour route L67 (Mangenberger Straße) may become overloaded during the closure, and traffic disruptions may occur, especially during peak commuting hours.
The closure will not affect the city of Solingen's construction project on the L141n in the direction of Remscheid. The diverted traffic from the Remscheid-bound lane to the Langenfeld-bound lane will remain operational.
During the closure period, structures such as bridges and noise barriers will be cleared for upcoming structural inspections. The closure is due to timber harvesting works, and the area covered by the measures is approximately 33,500 m².
For the most accurate and updated detour information, refer to the official Solingen city website or local traffic authorities before traveling. It is recommended that drivers allocate significantly more travel time due to the potential traffic disruptions. The direction of the closure is towards Langenfeld.
Despite the upcoming road closure on Viehbachtalstraße from February 10 to March 1, 2025, you can maintain your lifestyle by exploring alternative routes for your commute. To beat the traffic disruptions, consider using the detour via Solinger Straße (B229) and local streets, or opt for public transportation during peak hours. Meanwhile, home-and-garden enthusiasts may find useful gardening time during this period, as the closure allows for necessary structural inspections and timber harvesting works, clearing paths for future improvements.
