A2 Toward Hannover to Close Feb 26–Mar 2 at Dortmund for Canal Bridge Reinforcement

Autobahn Westfalen will reinforce the 85‑meter Dortmund‑Ems Canal bridge from 1979 to extend its service life.

Overview

  • Autobahn A2 between Kreuz Dortmund‑Nordwest and Dortmund‑Nordost will be fully closed toward Hannover from Thursday, Feb 26 at 21:00 to Monday, Mar 2 at 05:00.
  • Long‑distance traffic will be diverted wide of Dortmund via the A45 to Westhofener Kreuz and the A1 back to the A2 on a route of roughly 60 kilometers.
  • The Dortmund‑Mengede exit in the Hannover direction will be closed for the duration of the works.
  • The Dortmund‑Bodelschwingh on‑ramp to the A42 will be shut to reduce pressure at a nearby construction site.
  • The pedestrian and bicycle path under the bridge on the east side will be closed with a signed detour in place.
