From 4 July until probably 14 July, bus lines 1 and 17 will be diverted in the direction of Rödgen from the intersection of Rödgener Straße / Grünberger Straße in Giessen. Line 1 will also follow a different route within Rödgen. In the opposite direction, no diversion is necessary for either route. There are special arrangements for some school-related journeys on route 1.
Giessen. Due to a new construction phase of the fibre optic cable laying in Rödgener Straße, lines 1 and 17 will have to take a diversion via Grünberger Straße and Udersbergstraße in the direction of Rödgen / Colemanstraße from Tuesday, 4 July up to and including Friday, 14 July. The stops "Heyerweg", "Rudolf-Diesel-Straße" and "Sophie-Scholl-Schule" in the direction of Rödgen will be cancelled.
Line 1
The only exception: the short journeys on Line 1 with the destination "Sophie-Scholl-Schule" will continue to use this stop via Lufthansastraße, Stolzenmorgen and Lilienthalstraße. The long journeys on Line 1 with the destination "Rödgen" run directly from Udersbergstraße to Rödgen. Passengers travelling to "Sophie-Scholl-Schule" can get there via the return journey from Rödgen.
Line 17
Line 17 runs from Udersbergstraße via the "Stolzenmorgen" stop back to its regular route to the "Colemanstraße" terminus.
Special arrangements for school-related journeys There are some special arrangements for school-related journeys on Line 1 from Monday to Friday: The 6.49 a.m. journey from Lützellinden also serves the "Albert-Schweitzer-Schule" stop and does not continue to Rödgen, but ends at "Sophie-Scholl-Schule".
The 7.04 a.m. journey from Lützellinden no longer serves the "Albert-Schweitzer-Schule" stop and does not continue to Rödgen, but ends at "Sophie-Scholl-Schule".
The 7.19 a.m. journey from Lützellinden will be extended to Rödgen.
Due to the changed destinations of these journeys, the subsequent journeys in the opposite direction will also start at different stops: The 7:46 and 8:01 journeys from Rödgen will then start at 7:54 and 8:09 from the "Sophie-Scholl-Schule" stop. Instead of 8.24 a.m. from "Sophie-Scholl-Schule", the journey will start at 8.17 a.m. from the "Brunnenweg" stop in Rödgen.
Line 1 within Rödgens
Line 1 will also be diverted within Rödgen. Due to sewer work in the area of Friedrich-Ebert-Straße and the street Zum Bahnhof, it will run via the streets Helgenstock, Zur Kastanie, Rosengasse and Bärner Straße to the "Brunnenweg" stop during this time. The "Bürgerhaus" stop will be cancelled. This means that the "Brunnenweg" stop will also replace the terminus.
As the "Helgenstock" stop in the direction of "Bürgerhaus" cannot be approached, there will instead be a replacement stop in the area of Helgenstock house number 3 in the direction of the replacement terminus "Brunnenweg".
