Expansion of A59 and A40 highway interchange renewal in Duisburg
HOCHTIEF has been awarded the contract by the federally owned Autobahn GmbH to expand the A59 highway in Duisburg to six lanes over a length of approximately two kilometers and to renew the associated A40 highway interchange. The “Berliner Brückenzug” project, with a contract value of around EUR 450 million, was awarded to a HOCHTIEF-led joint venture. As the technical leader, HOCHTIEF holds a share of around EUR 145 million. The work, which will take place without disrupting traffic, will begin in January 2026 and is scheduled for completion by fall 2029.
Juan Santamaría Cases, CEO of HOCHTIEF: “We are delighted that we can use our experience to help improve transportation infrastructure in the Ruhr region with this major project.” Since 2020, the company has been building the new A40 Rhine bridge Duisburg-Neuenkamp as part of a joint venture in the immediate vicinity. Between Cologne and Leverkusen, HOCHTIEF and its partners are widening the A1 Rhine bridge and the A1 at the Leverkusen interchange to eight lanes over a length of 2.5 kilometers.
The work on the A59 highway section includes five bridges with a total length of 1.8 kilometers spanning the Ruhr, the Rhine-Herne Canal, the Duisburg harbor basin, a multi-track Deutsche Bahn railway line and the city park. The new Duisburg interchange will have a completely new traffic routing consisting of additional overpasses and connections between the two highways.
HOCHTIEF is a global leader in delivering major infrastructure projects, with a long-standing presence in the transport sector. Due to its core expertise in bridges, tunnels, road and railway infrastructure, as well as the scalability of its business model, HOCHTIEF is very well positioned to benefit from the expected acceleration in investment following the approval by the German Bundestag of the EUR 500 billion infrastructure fund. Overall, during the last three years our order book for German projects has almost doubled to EUR 5.2 billion.
