Düsseldorf residents and visitors should be prepared for significant traffic disruptions in the coming days as several key city routes undergo changes. The Rheinknie Bridge and Oberkasseler Bridge will be affected by these measures.

Starting from 20:00 hours, the Rheinknie Bridge's inbound lane will be narrowed to one lane, and the outbound lane will be fully closed. The exact bridge affected by these closures was not specified in the provided information. Meanwhile, Oberkasseler Bridge will be fully closed in both directions, with all access points on the bridge also shut down.

To minimise traffic towards the city center, the Oberkassel - Rheinalleetunnel exit at the "Heerdter Dreieck" will be closed. Pedestrians should not worry, however, as the old town area will remain accessible, with police paying special attention to pedestrian densities to ensure safety.

Traffic will be rerouted via the Theodor-Heuss Bridge to accommodate the closures. Luegallee will also be closed from Belsenplatz. The known stops on Heinrich-Heine-Allee will remain accessible for pedestrians.

It is strongly recommended that residents and visitors use public transportation more frequently during this time to avoid the congestion. The city center will experience numerous traffic closures, and significant disruptions to individual traffic are expected due to the measures.

Police will implement closures as needed for pedestrian safety in the old town, ensuring that pedestrians can safely and quickly navigate through the area. With these changes, it is essential to plan ahead and allow extra time for travel to your destination.
