Solingen's Weyersberg lot closes for 'Knife' trade fair shuttles
The parking lot at Weyersberg in Solingen will close to regular traffic on May 9 and 10. The temporary shutdown comes as part of preparations for the upcoming 'Knife' trade fair, which is set to attract large numbers of visitors over both days. The closure forms part of a wider traffic management plan for the event. By restricting access, the lot will instead function as a dedicated shuttle parking area for fair attendees. Free shuttles will then transport people directly to the fairgrounds, helping reduce congestion around the venue.
Residents and other drivers have been asked to use alternative parking during this time. Clear signage will be placed around the site to guide visitors and ensure smooth operations. The city has stressed the importance of following these directions to avoid delays.
The two-day closure aims to improve traffic flow and logistics for the busy trade fair. With shuttles running from Weyersberg, organisers hope to minimise disruption for both attendees and local road users. The parking lot will return to normal use once the event concludes.
