Due to construction work in Schiffenberger Tal and the renovation of a bus stop lane at Berliner Platz, several Giessen bus lines will be running on diversions routes from the end of July. Stadtwerke Giessen will be setting up replacement stops along the routes.
From 25 July, Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) will be renewing the district heating pipeline in Rathenaustraße, Ferniestraße and Schiffenberger Weg. Due to the partial or complete closure in this area, bus routes 10, 800, 801 and 802 will be running on alternative routes - probably until 7 September.
The buses on route 10 will run between the Erdkauter Weg and Rathenaustraße stops via alternative stops in Sandkauter Weg, in Am unteren Rain and in Heegstrauchweg/corner of Klingelbachweg and further on in Heegstrauchweg/corner of Rathenaustraße. The regular stops at Sandkauter Weg and Siemensstraße will be cancelled.
The Siemensstraße and Pistorstraße stops will be cancelled for route 801. Instead, for traffic reasons, the buses will run a loop from the Rathenaustraße stop via Heegstrauchweg, Klingelbachweg, Siemensstraße and Rathenaustraße back to the Rathenaustraße stop.
Stadtwerke Gießen is organising a diversion for lines 800 and 802 from the Aulweg stop. From there, the vehicles will run via Schiffenberger Weg, Am Unteren Rain, Heegstrauchweg and Rathenaustraße to the Rathenaustraße terminus. Passengers can get on and off at alternative stops in Am unteren Rain, Heegstrauchweg/corner of Klingelbachweg and Heegstrauchweg/corner of Rathenaustraße. The regular stops Am unteren Rain, Klingelbachweg, Sandkauter Weg and Siemensstraße will not be served.
Berliner Platz bus stop relocated
From 28 July until probably 8 August, the bus stop lane at Berliner Platz on the Rathaus side will also be renovated. Stadtwerke Gießen is setting up a replacement stop called "Berliner Platz" in front of the main entrance to the municipal theatre in the Südanlage for lines 1 and 11 as well as for the Venus and Saturn night buses. Regional bus lines 21, 22, 372, 375, 377 and 379 will also stop there.
Lines 2, 3/13, 7, 800, 801, 802 will stop at the regular Stadttheater station as an alternative during the renovation work. As line 12 stops at Berliner Platz on Sundays, it will also have to change to the Behördenzentrum station on 3 August.
Passengers can also obtain all information on the diversion routes and alternative stops by calling the SWG mobility centre on 0641 708-1400 or on the Internet at www.stadtwerke-giessen.de/verkehr.
