Due to construction work, there will be a full closure of the Westanlage between Bahnhofstraße and Reichensand at the beginning of July, resulting in diversions and disruptions to bus services in Giessen. The closure will begin on Saturday, 3 July, at around 9 pm and is scheduled to last until Monday, 5 July, at 5 am. Buses on the affected section of the route will take alternative routes from the late evening of 3 July. When operations begin on Monday morning, the lines will then resume their regular route. The SWG lines 2 and 5 as well as the regional bus lines 140, 410 and 420 are affected. The reason for the construction work: the laying of gas and water pipes at the intersection of Bahnhofstraße and Westanlage.
