Single-direction traffic along Adolf-Todt-Street
In the heart of Wiesbaden, Germany, a traffic trial on the banks of the Rhine at Biebrich is causing a temporary detour for Line 9 and Line 14 buses. This change will be in effect from August 1 to 3, 2025 (and subsequent weekends until August 24, 2025).
During these periods, the area of Rheingaustraße in front of Biebrich Palace will be closed to motorized traffic from Friday 6 pm to Sunday 10 pm. The closed section will be open only to bicycle traffic, with cars, buses, and trucks (including Line 9 buses) being barred during the trial periods.
Access to residential areas within the affected zone remains possible, but only via designated routes under the "Anlieger frei" (residents only) rule, specifically from the direction of Rathausstraße. Authorized residents and certain services can access Elisabethenstraße, Am Schlosspark, and parts of Rheingaustraße during these hours, but Line 9 buses must avoid the closed section near Biebrich Palace.
To plan your journey considering this detour, you should:
- Utilize ESWE Verkehr’s interactive network map and route planner to find the updated route that avoids the restricted area.
- Expect Line 9 to take an alternative path bypassing Rheingaustraße near Biebrich Palace during the traffic trial times (Friday evenings through Sunday nights on trial weekends).
- Consider using other lines unaffected by this closure, such as Lines 3, 4, or 39, if they serve your route.
- Stay updated by checking ESWE Verkehr’s official website or app for real-time traffic and detour information.
