From Sunday, 2 March 2008, passengers on the city and regional bus routes will have to adjust to a relocation of the Berliner Platz stop in both directions and a relocation of the Behördenzentrum stop in the direction of the railway station. The construction work is expected to last 6 months. The replacement stops will be set up and the current stops will be cancelled on Sunday morning as part of the traffic routing for the rest of the construction phase at Berliner Platz. The journey times will remain the same - they will not change. This measure will particularly affect people changing between different lines.
Relocation of bus stop Berliner Platz Stadthausseite
For all buses travelling in the direction of Johanneskirche - Selterstor, a replacement stop will be set up in the Südanlage in front of the main entrance to the Stadttheater. This will affect bus route 1 travelling to Kleinlinden/ Allendorf/ Lützellinden, bus route 11 in the direction of Wetzlar and regional bus routes 33, 34, 110, 141, 220, 310, 372, 375, 377 and 600 travelling to the railway station.
The city buses on lines 2,3,13,7,800,801 and 802 in the direction of Marktplatz - Oswaldsgarten stop at the existing Stadttheater stop in Neue Bäue.
On Sundays during the construction phase, route 12 will depart in the direction of Sandfeldschule at the replacement stop Südanlage/ Main Entrance Kongresshalle.
Relocation of the Berliner Platz stop in front of the Kongresshalle
As the traffic routing prohibits the use of Berliner Platz in the direction of Ludwigsplatz, the routes of many city and regional bus lines will have to be changed. Replacement stops will be set up in the Südanlage (main entrance to the Kongresshalle) and in the Neue Bäue (existing Stadttheater stop).
The changes are as follows:
Line 1 in the direction of Rödgen:
From the Johanneskirche stop to the replacement stop Südanlage/ Main Entrance Congress Hall and continue via Ostanlage - Moltkestraße to the Wolfstraße stop.
Line 2 in the direction of Eichendorffring and line 801 in the direction of Pistorstraße:
From Marktplatz to the replacement stop Stadttheater in der Neuen Bäue and continue via Ostanlage - Moltkestraße to the Nahrungsberg stop.
Line 3 in the direction of Schwarzacker, line 13 in the direction of Dialysezentrum and lines 800 and 802 in the direction of Rathenaustraße:
From Marktplatz to the replacement stop Stadttheater in der Neuen Bäue and continue via Südanlage - Bismarckstraße to the Liebigschule stop.
Line 6 in the direction of Schiffenberg:
Line 6 departs with destination Schiffenberg from the replacement stop in Südanlage/ Main Entrance Stadttheater via Bismarckstraße to the Liebigstraße stop.
Line 7 in the direction of Philosophenwald :
From Marktplatz to the replacement stop Stadttheater in der Neuen Bäue and continue via Ostanlage - Moltkestraße to the Schwanenteich stop.
Relocation of the Behördenzentrum stop
The changed traffic routing in the Ostanlage will lead to a relocation of the Behördenzentrum stop to the replacement stop Südanlage in the area of the main entrance to the Stadttheater. This applies to the city bus route 15 and the regional bus routes 51 and 520 travelling to the station. Line 140 also stops at the replacement stop and then continues to the Johanneskirche.
The relocation of the Behördenzentrum stop for city bus routes 5 and 12 to the Neue Bäue/ Stadttheater stop, which has already been in place for a year, remains valid. In the direction of Platz der Deutschen Einheit, buses will continue to stop at Behördenzentrum as usual.
Emergency vehicles
Passengers who use emergency vehicles with a different route to the scheduled vehicle are requested to inform themselves about the route and alternative stop. This particularly affects schoolchildren and working people travelling during the morning and midday peak.
Passengers can obtain further information by calling 0641 708-1400 or at the mobility centre in the infoZentrum on Marktplatz.
The mobility centre is open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 6 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm.
Stadtwerke asks its passengers for their understanding regarding the relocation of the stop.
