Closure of Solmsstraße
In the heart of Wiesbaden, a significant traffic trial is underway on the banks of the Rhine at Biebrich, affecting the city's traffic flow during several weekends in August.
Starting from August 8 and continuing through August 24, certain areas such as Rheingaustraße in front of Biebrich Palace are closed to motorized traffic and reserved for bicycle traffic only. While access to residences remains possible, it is limited to one direction under "Anlieger frei" (residents only) regulations. Authorized residents and services can enter affected streets like Elisabethenstraße and Am Schlosspark at any time.
This trial is the most significant ongoing event affecting the city's traffic, particularly around Biebrich Palace and adjoining streets. For citizens seeking information on affected bus routes and detours, the official Wiesbaden city website and municipal mobility pages provide updates on traffic developments. Since buses and trucks are not permitted in the closed zones during the trial, alternative bus routing or detours are likely communicated via local transit authorities through official channels such as websites or signage on-site.
Citizens are advised to consult local transit providers (e.g., ESWE Verkehr GmbH) or the city’s mobility information online for current public transport detour information. A map of selected measures can be found at [our website.de/baustellen].
It is important to note that these works are an investment in the future, aimed at preventing major damage and stronger traffic disruptions. The nature of the works is not specified beyond being renewals of streets, lines, and channels. The disruptions are affecting traffic, but no specific information about the duration or expected end date of the works is provided.
The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden issued the press release, appealing for understanding regarding the traffic disruptions. Unfortunately, no information about alternative routes for cyclists is given.
For those who wish to navigate the city on foot, pedestrians can use their usual routes. The contact details for the responsible department or office are available at [pressereferatour websitede].

- The traffic trial in Wiesbaden, particularly around Biebrich Palace, has implications for neighboring industries such as finance, as the closures could disrupt commuting routes.
- With the closure of certain streets like Elisabethenstraße and Am Schlosspark to motorized traffic, the finance and transportation industries might encounter challenges in accessing those areas during the trial.
