Closure of the private road between Werden and Wehr
Anyone who will be out by the end of the year Essen-Werden Those traveling towards route Baldeneysee should expect a small detour: Route Ruhrverband is undergoing extensive renovation of the private access road to the Dam and run-of-river hydroelectric power plant Baldeney. The heavily used cobblestone road, which has been damaged in recent years by heavy traffic and renovation work, is to be replaced by a modern asphalt surface.
Full closure with exceptions – diversion via Freiherr-vom-Stein-Straße past the ETUF golf course
During the construction phase, the existing access road will be closed to general traffic. Only essential transport vehicles and emergency vehicles will be permitted to pass. Pedestrians and cyclists An alternative route has been established: it leads via Freiherr-vom-Stein-Straße and past the ETUF golf course directly to the Werden weir. This way, the Baldeneysee and the weir can still be easily reached via a small detour.
Completion planned for the end of 2025
Construction is scheduled for completion by the end of December 2025. The Ruhrverband asks all visitors for their understanding regarding the temporary disruptions and promises significantly improved infrastructure in the future.
