Overview
- The city closed the Rheinufertunnel at 5 a.m. Monday and expects to reopen it by April 25.
- Crews will swap two of the tunnel’s five smoke-extraction fans that clear fumes during a fire.
- The project also installs LED lighting and lays new asphalt through the bore.
- Signed detours are set to absorb about 45,000 daily vehicles, with police reporting only minor jams during the Easter school break on Monday morning.
- The work costs about €4.5 million and requires a full shutdown because the heavy equipment needs clear access.
