Traffic Concept for the Ara Site
On 1 July 2026, Langenfeld’s planning committee approved a traffic concept for the city’s largest housing project at the former Ara site. The plan includes expanding Hans-Sachs-Weg to accommodate increased traffic.
Project Background

Key Measures
- Widening and upgrading of Hans-Sachs-Weg
- New cycle paths and safe pedestrian crossings
- Improved connection to existing bus routes
- Temporary construction regulations from autumn 2026
Further information is available on the City of Langenfeld website.
Impact on Residents
Residents in the surrounding area should expect temporary restrictions during construction. The city plans information events to involve affected parties early. In the long term, the concept aims to improve traffic flow in the neighbourhood.
