Bomb Disarmament In Progress on Aircraft

In the heart of Neuss's Furth, authorities have planned a crucial operation to safely dispose of a World War II-era unexploded bomb on June 28, 2022. Here's what you need to know about this significant event and the precautions involved.

Evacuation Zone and Residents' Notification

A safety perimeter, ranging from several hundred meters to a kilometer, will be established around the bomb site on Wolkerstraße. Residents and businesses within this zone have been advised to evacuate during the defusing operation. Detailed notices have been sent out via mail, local media, and community announcements, ensuring everyone is well-informed about evacuation instructions.

Timing and Transportation

The defusing operation is scheduled to start at a specific time on June 28, 2022. Local officials have announced the start and end times to minimise disruption and ensure safety. To facilitate the safe conduct of the bomb disposal, road closures and public transportation rerouting will be implemented in and around Wolkerstraße.

Safety Precautions and Emergency Services

Emergency services, including police, fire department, and bomb disposal experts, will work closely together to ensure a smooth and safe operation. Medical services will be on standby in case of emergencies.

Community Resources

For those with COVID-19 symptoms, a sports hall at the Grundschule "Die Brücke" (Weißenberger Weg 151) will be available. An operations center has been set up on the Nordbad parking lot and will be staffed from 6 PM. A place of refuge will be available from 5 PM at the Thomas-Morus-Haus on Adolfstraße.

Approximately 3,400 people living in the immediate vicinity, including some in a retirement home, are directly affected by this operation.

Impact on Public Transportation

Public transport (bus lines 828 and 854, train and S-Bahn connections to and from Neuss Hauptbahnhof) will be impacted from around 6:15 PM until the bomb is defused.

Bomb Disposal Experts and Updates

The defusing will be carried out by employees of the Kampfmittelbeseitigungsdienst of the Düsseldorf Regional Government. The operations center is likely to provide updates and information during the bomb defusing process.
