Full closures and diversions: traffic chaos in Weilburg from April!

Full closures and diversions: traffic chaos in Weilburg from April!

From April 7, 2025 to April 20, 2025, the state road 3025, also known as Weilstraße, will be completely closed in Weilburg for almost two weeks. This measure is necessary because road construction and renovation work are carried out. The blocking affects the area of ​​heirs to the Guntersau junction. Traffic is redirected via federal road 456 and Landesstraße 3451 by Edelsberg. The detour route is clearly signposted so that the road users are well informed.

In addition to the traffic situation, the bus lines will also be affected. In particular, the LM-52 line will no longer be able to operate the Weilburg stop “Erbstollen” and is instead diverted by Edelsberg to Kirschhofen. Passengers are asked to find out more about the construction site timetable that provides specific information about the changes. The LM-61 line from Odersbach "town center" for the affected passengers offers an alternative.

traffic impairments from construction sites

The current situation in Weilburg is not unique. There are also considerable construction sites in other cities that affect local public transport. In another measure, Plathnerstraße will be fully blocked by the end of May 2026 due to renovation work on the railway bridge. This leads to diversions for bus lines 128 and 134, in which certain stops have to be omitted or laid.

• bus line 128:
  • stops "Gneisenaustraße" and "Plathnerstraße".
  • stop "Braunschweiger Platz" is laid.
• bus line 134:
  • stops "Plathnerstraße" and "Zoo".
  • stop "Hannover Congress Centrum" is moved to Schackstraße.

The diversion information is available on the affected stops via digital timetables and notices. Passengers are informed about the changes through targeted announcements.

financing of infrastructure measures

These construction sites and diversions illustrate the challenges that many municipalities are facing. According to a survey by the German Institute for Urban Studies, there is a significantly high investment deficit, especially in the area of ​​road and transport infrastructure and schools. In 2017, an investing deficit of 39 billion euros was found in the traffic area.

Negotiations on the reorganization of the federal-state financial relationships are difficult. A large part of the municipalities has inadequate financial strength, which is why it seems that the investment backlog will even increase in the next few years. Only 17 percent of the municipalities state that they can reduce the investment backlog. An appeal to the countries to use additional sales tax revenue for investments in the municipal infrastructure is particularly important in view of the current challenges.

summarized the traffic situation in Weilburg and other cities show how necessary extensive investments are in order to make the infrastructure future -proof. Such measures are essential to ensure both the security standard and the mobility of the citizens in the long term.
