Widening of Fussach bridge over the Rhine between Höchst and Hard has blocked the cycle route where it formerly passed under the bridge. Work started in autumn 2021 and will continue through 2022. Towards the bottom of p71, 150m before cycle track drops down L off flood dyke to pass under Fussach bridge, turn L then R at T-junction and R again onto bridge, re-joining original route crossing river using cycle track L. As bridge work progresses, it is likely that construction of new approach roads and slip roads on both sides of the Rhine will lead to further route changes. Look out for local signage.
Fussach bridge is where the alternative routes around Lake Constance divide. To follow the southern route around the lake, do not cross the bridge; rather go straight ahead across bridge approach road into Dorfstrasse (sp Fussach) and follow this heading west through village.
Stage 5 (p80) The railway crossing referred to in the third line has been replaced by a railway underbridge with consequent re-modelling of nearby roads. After passing disused railway goods depot R, bear L (Bregenzer Strasse) then go ahead L at roundabout (second exit) and cross bridge to reach another roundabout on Lindau island.
Stage 16 (p186) Construction of a new motorway bridge over the Rhine has caused a long-term cycle route diversion between Biebrich and Schierstein. In the first line, do not turn L into the park, rather turn R (Rheinparkstrasse) opposite canoe club. At end, turn L onto Rheingaustrasse, a busy main road with cycle track R. Pass under motorway bridge, then turn L at traffic lights (Hafenweg). Turn R at first crossroads (still Hafenweg) to re-join original route passing Schierstein marina L.
Stage 20 (p224) Another new motorway bridge over the river has caused a long-term diversion at Merkenich. Do not fork R beside house 220b, rather continue ahead under motorway bridge and turn R (Schlettstadter Strasse) beside house 248b. At end, turn L, re-joining original route through fields and out of Köln.
Stage 23 (p248) Construction of new flood dykes and sluices has altered the route at Griethausen. While this work is underway it is necessary to divert through the middle of Griethausen. Do not turn R onto asphalt track beside course of Alt Rhein. Rather continue ahead for 1km to reach roundabout and turn R (Postdeich, first exit). Follow this winding through Griethausen, then at end of village where road passes through gap in flood dyke, fork L up onto dyke to re-join original route.
When the work has been completed, a new cycle track will fork R from a point about 500m before the bridge over the Alt Rhein along a newly constructed flood dyke crossing the new Alt Rhein sluices and then bearing R to join the original route along the old flood dyke passing Griethausen below L.
Stage 27 (p279) Between Koggehaven and Maassluis, construction work for the new Maasdelta road tunnel has caused long term diversion of the cycle route. The diversion route is described in the guide and shown on the maps. When the work has been completed, it is expected that the original cycle route alongside the river Maas will be re-instated.
Stage 27 (p282) Relocation of Hoek van Holland station and re-modelling of the roads serving both the station and ferry port are causing short-term diversions. Follow the signs.
