Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

  • Federal highway 255 , which connects Montabaur and Rennerod , ran right through the town until 2016 . Since November 2016, the B 255 has been running on a bypass road around the town, which made headlines across the region due to a planning error: The pillar of a railway bridge built by Deutsche Bahn protrudes into the carriageway, so that instead of the planned three lanes only two could be implemented.
  • The next motorway junction is Montabaur on federal motorway 3 ( Cologne - Frankfurt am Main ), about five kilometers away.
  • The Montabaur train station on the Cologne – Rhein / Main high-speed line and the Unterwesterwaldbahn offer connections to long-distance traffic in the direction of Frankfurt and Cologne and the RB29 (Limburg (Lahn) - Diez Ost - Elz Süd - Montabaur - Wirges - Siershahn).
  • Niederahr is located on the Westerwaldquerbahn (Herborn (Dillkreis) - Rennerod - Westerburg - Wallmerod - Montabaur), but only freight traffic between Montabaur and Wallmerod and excursion traffic with handcars between Westerburg and Rennerod take place on this railway line.
