The VBK revamped the Karl-Wilhelm-Platz track system

In Karl-Wilhelm-Platz in Oststadt, the VBK will renew the track system between Tuesday 25 May and Monday 7 June 2021. Meanwhile, the municipal civil engineering department is carrying out a construction project in Haid-und-Neu-Straße. During this time Tram lines 4, 5, 6 and S2 will be diverted.

The stations at Karl-Wilhelm-Platz and Hauptfriedhof (Haid-und-Neu-Straße) cannot be operated during construction work. For lane work on Karl-Wilhelm-Platz, this intersection must also be completely closed to motor vehicle traffic.

A local guide sign for road users will be placed. Bicycle and pedestrian traffic will be preserved in this area.

Karlstor: The next phase of the compound solution begins

In the West City Center, work on a joint solution enters the next stage in Karlstor. During the completion of the motorway tunnel (Kriegsstraße), the section between Europaplatz and Mathystraße will remain closed to rail traffic.

You will be notified of Tram lines 2, 3, 4 and 6 in this area.
