Continuation of the cycle route construction progresses
In the vibrant city of Düsseldorf, Germany, cycling enthusiasts may find a variety of cycling options, including bike-sharing systems such as Bolt, indicating a supportive environment for cycling mobility [1]. However, when it comes to specific information about the current statuses and future plans for the North-South Bike Route 1 and Bike Route 2, the search results are somewhat elusive.
While data is available on national cycling route projects, general cycling tourism routes along the Rhine, and Düsseldorf's bike-sharing systems, there is a conspicuous absence of information regarding these two bike routes and their development status [2][4].
The Federal Logistics and Mobility Office (BALM) organises and promotes the German national cycle network, which includes 12 D-Routes of national importance, as well as other routes like the German Unity Cycle Route [2]. The Rhine Cycle Route (EuroVelo 15), which passes through Düsseldorf's state of North Rhine-Westphalia, is a key long-distance cycling route with increasing cycling tourism interest [2][4].
Given this context, it appears that the North-South Bike Route 1 and Bike Route 2 in Düsseldorf may be local or regional designated routes. However, specific recent updates or future development plans are not documented in the available results.
To obtain the current official status and planned expansions for these bike routes, one may need to consult Düsseldorf city's official transport or urban planning websites, North Rhine-Westphalia state cycling infrastructure plans, or BALM for national-level cycling route projects [5].
According to the limited information available, work on Bike Route 2 is currently underway in Lörick, and construction for Bike Route 2, running from Heerdt to Gerresheim, has begun in Heerdt [6]. Parts of the North-South Bike Route, such as on Volklinger Street, are yet to be constructed, while the completed sections of the North-South Bike Route include the area between the Rhine promenade and the state parliament [6].
The North-South Bike Route 1 is planned to connect Lohausen with Bilk, and construction work on the next section of Bike Route 1, connecting Unterbilk, has been completed [7]. The new Luisen-Gymnasium will be connected to the district heating network before the construction of a wide bike lane on Volklinger Street [8].
As more information becomes available, cyclists in Düsseldorf can look forward to a more comprehensive and connected network of bike routes, enhancing their cycling experiences in the city.
