Hitting the Road for Corpus Christi! NRW Traffic Predictions and What to Expect
Heavy vehicle clogging: North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) before Corpus Christi holiday weekend - Anticipated heavy traffic: NRW ahead of the Fronleichnam weekend
Alright, guys, the long weekend is almost here - and if you're spending it in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), prepare for some heavy traffic! That's right, the ADAC is forecasting a high risk of congestion and traffic jams on Wednesday, especially during the afternoon hours between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM. You've got two options, fam: Depart a bit earlier or embark on your journey on Thursday morning instead.
And here's a little heads up for all the students out there – even though Friday isn't a public holiday, many schools in NRW have planned a flexible holiday day for this very day.
Now, what about those planning a trip to the North or Baltic Seas? Prepare yourself for some major traffic there too, folks! But don't worry, after Thursday, things should start easing up. Just watch out for potential problems on the A46 between Wuppertal and Düsseldorf due to construction work.
Construction sites in NRW pose an especially high risk of congestion, with especially sluggish traffic expected around Oberhausen/Duisburg (Kaiserberg) and the entire Cologne motorway ring, according to the ADAC.
But don't fret! The return journey on Sunday should run relatively smoothly, as the usual commuter traffic won't be around, and the tourist traffic will be more evenly distributed.
Now, if you're traveling during the Corpus Christi weekend in NRW, it's essential to be aware of common traffic patterns during long weekends and holidays in Germany. Though specific data might not be available for 2022, here are some general tips:
- Plan Ahead: Check for road closures and construction before heading out.
- Avoid Peak Hours: Avoid traveling during peak hours (Friday afternoon and Saturday morning) to minimize delays.
- Use Navigation Apps: Utilize GPS navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze for real-time traffic updates and efficient routes.
- Consider Alternative Modes: If possible, use public transportation or trains to reduce traffic congestion.

- A1 North-South Route: This highway is often congested and connects to many other routes.
- A3 East-West Route: This highway can also be congested, especially around major cities.
- A40 and A42 in the Ruhr Region: These roads might experience heavy traffic due to the region's dense population and industrial activity.
