PROJECTS / RRX DÜSSELDORF

Bicycle Superhighway

The expansion of the RRX route generates momentum for further development along the entire corridor, positively impacting both the city of Düsseldorf and the surrounding region. As a symbol of connectivity and a sustainable future for the region, we propose the creation of a regional bicycle superhighway alongside the expansion of the RRX line.

​

The bicycle superhighway would run from Duisburg through Düsseldorf to Cologne, constructed above the portion of the tracks that will be renewed or expanded as part of the RRX route upgrades. This approach leverages the ongoing construction work to create a new, regenerative infrastructure element.

​

The bicycle superhighway serves as a pilot project for the region, with the potential to be adopted by other areas in Germany, leading to a nationwide bicycle network.

​

Düsseldorf sits at the center of the Kittelband Schwarzbach ecological corridor to the north, the Northern and Southern Düssel rivers to the east, the Brückerbach-Southern Düssel to the south, and the Rhine to the west. The FSH, accompanied by the planting of trees and shrubs along the RRX route, forms an additional inner-city ecological connection that intersects and enhances the existing network of green corridors.
