Due to various construction works, Stadtwerke Gießen is having to set up replacement stops and reroute buses.
Three different construction measures will affect different bus routes operated by Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) over the next few days:
From 17 July 2024: Lines 10 and 801
Due to the construction of a new seminar building for the University of Giessen, buses on lines 10 and 801 will no longer be able to access bus platforms 1 and 3 at the "Philosophikum" stop in the direction of Schiffenberger Weg. Instead, SWG will set up a replacement stop opposite bus platforms 2 and 4. This arrangement will apply from Wednesday, 17 July 2024 until further notice.
From 18 July 2024: Lines 3 and 13
The upcoming carriageway renovation on Liebigstraße makes a full closure necessary. As a result, SWG will have to reroute lines 3 and 13 via Aulweg and Leihgesterner Weg. For this reason, the "Welkerstraße" and "Ebelstraße" stops in Liebigstraße cannot be served. The "Ebelstraße" stop will be cancelled. SWG will set up a replacement for the "Welkerstraße" stop in Aulweg - just a few steps away. The diversion will be in place from Thursday 18 July at the start of operations up to and including Friday 2 August.
On 20 July 2024: lines 7, 801 and 802
A full closure of Moltkestraße on Saturday 20 July only will result in alternative routes and the cancellation of some stops. For example, SWG will have to divert route 7 in the direction of "Evangelisches Krankenhaus" via Tannenweg, Curtmannstraße and Grünberger Straße. As a result, the buses will not pass the "Professorenweg", "Pestalozzischule" and "Schwanenteich" stops as usual. Instead, route 7 will serve the "Wolfstraße" stop on Grünberger Straße. In the direction of "Philosophenwald", line 7 will follow the usual route.
Buses on lines 801 and 802 from Wettenberg with the final stop at "Berliner Platz" will not stop at the "Behördenzentrum" stop, but at the "Stadttheater" stop instead.
