Disrupted bus traffic due to a burst water main
In Wiesbaden, a water main break near the Brita-Arena on August 8th has caused some disruptions to the city's public transportation system. The break, which was traced back to a cast iron pipe from 1954, has led to repair work that is still ongoing, and the duration of the repair work remains unclear.
The affected bus lines include 3, 6, 33, 22, 27, 28, 37, and 45. These lines have been rerouted around the affected area, with detours on adjacent streets or temporary bus stops established along alternative paths.
For instance, lines 3 and 33, which usually travel via Brunhildenstraße, have returned to their regular route via Hasengartenstraße. Their detour from "Hauptbahnhof A" involves Salzbachstraße, Gartenfeldstraße, Mainzer Straße, then continuing via Weidenbornstraße and Hasengartenstraße back to their regular route.
Line 27 (Leisure Pool) is not affected by the water main break and continues on its regular route. However, lines 22 and 27 (Oberjosbach / HSK / August-Bebel-Straße) start at the "Brunhildenstraße" stop, continue via Siegfriedring and Hasengartenstraße to a replacement stop in Weidenbornstraße, then Weidenbornstraße and Mainzer Straße to "Welfenstraße" stop, and return to their regular route.
Lines 16, 28, 37, 45 have a detour direction of Südfriedhof, Mainz, Nordenstadt, Raiffeisenplatz. The exact route for these lines is not specified in the available information.
Lines 22 and 27 (Vocational School Center) have their service ended at the "Brunhildenstraße" stop, with no further service to the regular end point "Vocational School Center".
The repair work has also led to the closure of several lanes from Mainzer Straße towards the outskirts of the city at the bus stop "Statistisches Bundesamt". Traffic is being rerouted from the intersection towards Mainzer Straße by the police.
The water supply for residents is not affected by the water main break.
For the most up-to-date information on the alternative routes for these bus lines, passengers are advised to check the official Wiesbaden or Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) public transport websites or social media channels for current service updates. Local news or transport authority notices released around the date of the disruption usually include detailed maps and timing information. Alternatively, passengers can contact Wiesbaden public transport customer service directly for more information.
During this transportation disruption in Wiesbaden, passengers of lines 16, 28, 37, 45 should be aware of the detours towards Südfriedhof, Mainz, Nordenstadt, Raiffeisenplatz due to the ongoing repair work. On the other hand, Line 22 (Oberjosbach / HSK / August-Bebel-Straße) and Line 27 (Vocational School Center) have altered routes and may impact finance and industry operations, as some employees who rely on these lines might face delays in their commute.
