Tunnel along the Rhine River to be shut down evenings for several upcoming months.
Prepping for a Brighter, More Energy-Efficient Rheinufertunnel
You ain't seen nothing yet! The Rheinufertunnel—a fixture since 1993—is getting a much-needed makeover. Starting in summer 2026, over 1,100 LED lights will be installed, making your commute not just brighter, but also more energy-efficient. But don't worry, we ain't shutting down the joint for good!
Detailed information from the city
The work is scheduled to take place every night from 9 PM to 5 AM, for four nights a week. However, there's a silver lining—weekends, and events like the Rheinkirmes (July 11-20) or concerts by Linkin Park (July 1) and AC/DC (July 8), will see the tunnel remaining open. And hey, there's more! Those cozy nights will also be used to tidy up the tunnel, like a good spring clean, but underground style.
New lights in the Rheinufertunnel will be more expensive
For all the nitty-gritty details, be sure to check out the city's website. And for those wondering if this new lighting will break the bank, well, yeah, it will be a bit more pricey, but remember, we're all working towards a greener future.
Traffic violations in Düsseldorf on the rise
By the way, while traffic violations in Düsseldorf seem to be on the rise (source), don't be one of those folks! Let's keep the roads safe and the tunnel clean for our energy-efficient future.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Rheinufertunnel's transformation. Keep calm and keep it green, folks! 💔🌍🌲🤘🏼habibi💔
The upcoming renovation of the Rheinufertunnel, starting in summer 2026, encompasses not only energy-efficient LED lighting but also improvements in the public-transit sector, expanding the availability of bright, eco-friendly transportation options for commuters. Furthermore, the finance sector could witness a growth due to the increased cost associated with the new lighting system, as it aligns with global trends towards sustainable energy-saving measures in the industry.
