Discover the A59 Expansion in Northern Duisburg by Bicycle

On October 3, 2026, a guided bicycle tour will lead to selected points of the planned construction of the A59 in Northern Duisburg. Between Meiderich, Hamborn, and the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park, it will be visible how traffic planning, urban development, and quality of life are interconnected. The approximately 21-kilometer tour offers an informative discovery experience for all who want to experience Duisburg's local history, current infrastructure projects, and the future of the transportation transition directly on site.

Start at the ADFC Info Shop

The city tour on two wheels begins with a brief introduction at the ADFC Info Shop on Mülheimer Straße. The route then leads through Northern Duisburg to locations where the different planning variations of the A59 expansion become particularly apparent. The organizers ADFC Duisburg, VCD Duisburg, the Union of Duisburg Citizen Associations, and the Meiderich Citizens' Association combine expert information with an immediate site visit.

Meiderich: Berlin Bridge and Elevated Structure

In Meiderich, the Berlin Bridge, the former Rosengarten, Dr.-Lengeling-Straße, and the elevated road are on the agenda. Here, participants get a concrete impression of the existing structures and the spatial impacts of a high-level traffic route. Architecture, traffic infrastructure, and urban surroundings become tangible from the perspective of a bicycle.

Hamborn: Trench, Bridges, and Urban Development

In Hamborn, the bicycle tour makes the differences between an open and a potential covered trench visible. The stops at the factory railway bridge and Jägerstraße demonstrate how significantly the design of the A59 can shape the character of the affected neighborhoods. The tour links technical contexts with questions of cultural heritage, quality of stay, and the future development of Northern Duisburg.

Perspective at Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park

At the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park, the factory railway bridge over the A59 offers a special view of the traffic corridor and its surroundings. The former industrial site exemplifies Duisburg's transformation from a coal region to a city where industrial remnants, green spaces, and new mobility concepts meet. The perspective from the bridge illustrates the urban development benefits that a covered solution could bring from the organizers' point of view.

Information, Discussion, and Shared Feedback

The organizers have requested the city of Duisburg to present its perspective on the plans and answer questions. The route concludes back at the ADFC Info Shop. There, shared feedback and discussion of possible consequences for the affected neighborhoods are planned. The bicycle tour is aimed at interested citizens, bicycle tourists, politically engaged guests, and anyone who wants to learn about Duisburg's present and future directly on site.
