Construction work in the street "Neustadt" necessitates the diversion of several SWG bus routes. The "Oswaldsgarten" bus stop will be closed for around four days.
The city of Giessen has scheduled construction work in the street "Neustadt" from Monday, 6 April to Thursday, 9 April. This will affect bus services - especially the "Oswaldsgarten" stop, but also the "Marktplatz" stop: The "Oswaldsgarten" stop will be out of service on these four days. Alternatively, the buses of Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) will stop at the "Mühlstraße" stop. This will affect lines 2, 3/13, 7, 12, 24, 801 and 802, which will be diverted in both directions. From the start of operations on 6 April, the buses will take the following routes:
Line 2: Berliner Platz >> Marktplatz >> City-Center >> Liebigstraße >> Bahnhof and back via Katharinengasse >> Marktplatz >> Berliner Platz >> direction Eichendorffring.
Lines 3/13: Berliner Platz >> Johanneskirche >> Bahnhofstraße >> Mühlstraße >> direction Friedhof and the same route back towards Schlangenzahl/Dialysis Centre.
Line 7: Berliner Platz >> Johanneskirche >> Bahnhofstraße >> Mühlstraße >> Schützenstraße >> direction Evangelisches Krankenhaus and the same route back towards Philosophenwald.
Line 12: Authorities centre >> Johanneskirche >> Bahnhofstraße >> Mühlstraße >> Schützenstraße >> direction Gewerbegebiet West and the same route back towards Sandfeldschule.
Line 24: Schützenstraße >> Mühlstraße >> Liebigstraße >> railway station and the same route back towards Heuchelheim/Kinzenbach and Wetzlar.
Lines 801 and 802: Berliner Platz >> Johanneskirche >> Bahnhofstraße >> Mühlstraße >> Schützenstraße >> direction Wettenberg and the same route back towards Ostschule/Philosophikum II.
There are no changes for lines 1, 5, 10, 15 and 17 - they will run as usual.
