Transportation: New detour plan due to water main rupture
In Wiesbaden, Germany, a temporary detour is in effect for several bus lines due to the closure of Gustav-Stresemann-Ring from August 18 to August 25, 2025, as a result of a water main break. The affected lines include 3, 6, 16, 22, 27, 33, 34, 49, and school buses.
The new detour regulation is in place from August 18, and for the most precise and current detour routes per bus line, it is recommended to consult the official ESWE Verkehr website or their interactive network map and detour news section. This authoritative source provides day-to-day updates on affected lines and exact route changes during construction or road closures.
For instance, lines 3, 6, 33, 34, 49, and school buses follow a route from "Hauptbahnhof A" to "Freizeitbad", with stops at Salzbachstraße/Gartenfeldstraße and Mainzer Straße, skipping the "Mainzer Straße" stop but serving the "Gartenfeldstraße" stop. Similarly, bus line 22, with the destination Berufsschulzentrum (BSZ), continues directly from the Wettinerstraße bypass to the "Berufsschulzentrum" end stop.
The closure is causing a major re-routing of many lines listed, and this closure and detour are temporary, valid until the end of August 25. Other simultaneous closures like John-F.-Kennedy-Straße and Rheingaustraße affect certain other lines but not specifically those listed.

The temporary closure of Gustav-Stresemann-Ring from August 18 to August 25, 2025, might impact the finance sector, as the closure affects bus lines that operate close to various banks and financial institutions. Furthermore, the transportation industry will need to adjust to the new detour routes in effect for several bus lines, including lines 3, 6, 16, 22, 27, 33, 34, 49, and school buses, until the closure is lifted.
