Construction works will finally be able to start once the environmental study, which is currently under way, has been completed and if none of the residents submits a complaint, i.e. towards the end of 2021 at the earliest. In this case, the bypass would be finished in 2024.

During rush hour, the crossing can be closed for up to 40 minutes per hour, resulting in severe traffic congestion and unpleasant living conditions for local residents.

The "small bypass" should have been completed eight years ago already, but a property owner who refused to relinquish a 44 ares plot slowed down the process. Right now, the ongoing environmental study is preventing the bulldozers from working.

The route passes through a Natura2000 area, and thus the ongoing study commissioned by the Environmental Administration and the Bridges and Roads Authority has to prove the limited impact of the new road on nature.

A similar situation has been reported in Limpach, a village also affected by the traffic caused by the Dippach railway station. Limpach is part of the municipality of Reckange-sur-Mess, which should also benefit from the bypass later on.
