Project summary

The expansion to a six-lane federal highway is intended to equalize the often dense traffic flow both on the B1 section and in the downstream regional road network and thus reduce traffic jams. The extension of the A40 federal highway resulting from the project will connect the cities of the Ruhr region even more effectively.

Unique project highlights

The 13 structures along the route will be partially replaced, partially renovated, or adapted to current conditions. For the most part, these are bridge structures, such as the bridge over the Emschertalstraße. However, a subterranean tunnel has also been adjusted as part of the project. The noise protection measures which are planned along the expansion are intended to keep noise and exhaust emissions away from residents. Some of these noise barriers will already be installed during the route expansion to protect residents from construction noise.

What SWECO particularly appreciates about lcmd:

Management and coordination of execution with the planning board

  • Risk management with the 4-6 week forecast in the digital planning board
  • Coordination of the trades used with the planning board
  • Fine-tuning the schedule on the planning board

With lcmd, all construction processes are presented clearly - this allows problems to be detected and resolved early on.
