Weekend power works on Leibnizplatz rail construction in Bremen, involving tram lines 4 and N4 rerouting, scheduled for September 27th.
In the city of Hamburg, travellers using tram lines 4 and N4 should be aware of upcoming changes during the Powerweekend (September 27th to 30th). Due to maintenance work at the Leibnizplatz Theater junction, these tram lines will be rerouted, and a replacement bus service (line 4E) will be established.
During the Powerweekend, tram lines 4 and N4 will not serve the stops at Leibnizplatz and nearby affected stops. A shuttle bus will run parallel to the tram route between the stops before and after the closure, ensuring continued service for passengers. Timetables for the replacement buses will be coordinated to minimize waiting times and maintain connections.
For the exact alternative stops served by the replacement buses and detailed schedules, it is recommended to check the local transit authority’s announcements closer to the event dates or at the stops themselves during the Powerweekend.
The rerouted tram lines 4 and N4 will travel from Lilienthal/Borgfeld to the Leibnizplatz Theater, via the Gastfeldstraße stop to the BSAG center at the Airport Damm, and then back to Lilienthal/Borgfeld, with the section between the Leibnizplatz Theater stop and Arsten closed to trams.
During the Powerweekend, the replacement bus service with line 4E will run between Pappelstraße and Heukampdamm stops. However, the exact route of line 4E during the Powerweekend is not specified.
Outside of the Powerweekend (September 23rd to October 13th), tram operations will continue as usual. However, during this period, the Buntentorsteinweg will be closed in the city direction from the Osterstraße, and the Friedrich-Ebert-Straße will be closed in the city direction from the Neustadtscontrescarpe street.
Throughout the construction period, the Rotes-Kreuz-Krankenhaus will be accessible via a short, signposted detour. The transfer between tram and replacement service during the Powerweekend will be at the Gastfeldstraße stop (platforms C and D).
It is essential to note that the Powerweekend will not affect the operations of tram line N4 outside of the specified rerouting. Tram line 4 will be affected by rerouting during the Powerweekend, and the replacement bus service with line 4E will be established. Continuous work will be carried out during the Powerweekend from Friday, September 27th at 9 PM to Monday, September 30th at 3 AM.
Passengers are advised to check the local transit authority’s announcements for the most up-to-date information regarding the Powerweekend tram disruptions and replacement bus service.
- In addition to the Powerweekend changes, financial support may be necessary for the industry of public-transit given the ongoing maintenance and transportation adjustments, such as the replacement bus service (line 4E) for tram lines 4 and N4.
- During the Powerweekend, the transport of passengers in the affected tram lines (4 and N4) will be facilitated by not only the rerouted service but also the coordinated schedules and shuttle bus (line 4E) along specific stops (Pappelstraße and Heukampdamm), which falls under the realm of the city's public-transit and finance sectors.
