Nothing will work in Cologne late on Thursday (February 1, 2024)! Traffic is backed up on many streets and the horns are being honked wildly in anger. The rings are also completely sealed.
“There is nothing going on operationally, just traffic chaos,” an officer from the Cologne police control center explains to EXPRESS.de. It’s madness.
Cologne is tight: traffic jams everywhere – including on the motorways
A look at the congestion map shows this, almost everything is red there. Metal snakes as far as the eye can see. Even on the bridges, traffic sometimes goes in both directions. It can’t be due to the strike by the Cologne transport company (KVB), it’s only on Friday.
However, the A1 around the Leverkusen Bridge, which is closed until Sunday (January 4, 2024), regularly causes traffic jams in rush hour traffic. There were also minor accidents, but these cannot be to blame for the mega traffic jam chaos.
Motorways such as the A4 are also affected. There, traffic between the Heumar triangle and the Cologne-South intersection towards Aachen is six kilometers long. But even in many small side streets nothing works anymore, many drivers try to avoid them – without success.
Take part in our EXPRESS.de survey here:
Between the Cologne-West intersection and the Heumar triangle, the patience of road users heading towards Olpe is tested even harder: more than ten kilometers of traffic and an hour plus!
According to the police, there were just six operations on the motorways throughout the Cologne region early on Thursday evening – and yet there were traffic jams everywhere. Among other things, there is an unsecured accident site on the A4 between Cologne-Poll and Rodenkirchener Brücke in the direction of Heerlen/Aachen. (red)
