In the heart of Düsseldorf, construction work on district heating pipelines is currently being carried out by Stadtwerke Düsseldorf. This project, however, is separate from the one connecting Henkel, a global company known for its leading brands in various sectors, to the district heating network.

The construction on Herzogstraße is not expected to have any direct impact on Henkel's ability to supply waste heat or the 40 percent of the demand for Benrath and Garath with district heating that Henkel's connection is intended to cover. The completion of the district heating pipeline construction on Herzogstraße is not specified in the provided information.

The main purpose of the construction work was to connect Henkel to the district heating network. Despite the ongoing work, the road surface has been restored, but marking works are still pending. Temporary lane closures will occur from Monday, 1st September 2025 to Friday, 5th September 2025.

It is worth noting that the district heating pipelines construction on Herzogstraße is not directly related to the road surface restoration mentioned earlier. The city of Düsseldorf has not issued any additional announcements regarding the district heating pipelines construction on Herzogstraße.

The construction project in question began in early 2023, and while the district heating pipelines construction on Herzogstraße does not have a specified timeline for continuation beyond the week following the temporary lane closures, work may continue into the following week.

The district heating plant associated with Henkel in Düsseldorf is the "Henkel Heizkraftwerk" (Henkel combined heat and power plant), located at Henkel's site in Düsseldorf. Henkel is a company that supplies waste heat, contributing to the city's sustainable energy efforts.

The district heating pipelines construction on Herzogstraße is not stated to have any influence on the temporary lane closures. The connection of Henkel is intended to cover approximately 40 percent of the demand for Benrath and Garath with district heating.

As the construction progresses, residents and commuters are advised to plan their travel accordingly and to follow traffic updates provided by the city of Düsseldorf. The city continues to work towards improving its infrastructure and promoting sustainable energy solutions.
