Traveling by Car

Traffic disruptions:

• Complete closure of the Nordbrücke/Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke (A565) between Bonn Beuel and Bonn Auerberg.
• Due to the complete closure, significant delays are expected throughout the entire Bonn city area.
• The A4 toward Olpe (from Cologne toward Bonn) is closed to vehicles weighing over 7.5 metric tons between the Köln-Klettenberg and Köln-Eifeltor interchanges. This is causing very long traffic jams in some areas and disruptions on all lanes.
