Changes to scheduled services: while routes 5 and 15 will be able to use Reichensand street again in future, routes 2, 10, 17 and 18 will have to change their routes due to the laying of district heating pipes.
On Friday, 31 March 2023, the full closure of Reichensand street will end after almost a year. Lines 5 and 15 will return to their regular route and will once again stop at the "Katharinengasse" stop in Reichensand. The "Bahnhofstraße" stop, which was previously used as a replacement, will no longer be served.
Closure of Liebigstraße
From Monday, 3 April 2023, lines 2, 10, 17 and 18 in the direction of the railway station will have to be rerouted due to a half-sided closure of Liebigstraße between Frankfurter Straße and Bahnhofstraße from the start of operations. The reason for this is the laying of district heating pipes. The construction work is expected to last until June 2023.
Line 2 will run from the Westanlage directly via Bahnhofstraße to the Bahnhof terminus. The "Selterstor" and "Liebigstraße" stops will be cancelled.
Lines 17 and 18 will run from Südanlage via Westanlage, Reichensand and Bahnhofstraße to the Bahnhof terminus. As the "Selterstor" and "Liebigstraße" stops in the direction of the railway station cannot be approached, line 17 will stop at the "Katharinengasse" stop instead. There will be no diversion in the opposite direction; the regular route will be followed.
Line 10 will run from the "Schubertstraße" stop via Frankfurter Straße, Klinikstraße, Margaretenhütte, Lahnstraße, Gabelsberger Straße, Westanlage and Bahnhofstraße to the final stop at the railway station. The "Klinikstraße" and "Friedrichstraße" stops on Frankfurter Straße will be cancelled. The stops "Klinikstraße" in Klinikstraße and "Parkhaus Lahnstraße" in Lahnstraße will be used as replacements. There will be no diversion in the direction of Philosophikum.
