Traffic chaos in Kerpen: Derirance and new stops from January!

The access to Jahnplatz from Sindorfer Strasse has been completely closed since the end of November. In the course of the construction work, Sindorfer Straße will only be driven south on a section of around 400 meters. The changes implemented since January 6 concern several bus lines, including SB92, 911, 920, 933, 964 and 966 as well as individual trips to lines 922 and 955 (only to the north).

The “Kerpen Rathaus” stop is no longer served, instead a replacement stop is set up on the “Alte Landstrasse”. For lines 911, 920, 933 and 966 towards Sindorf/Horrem, the “Kerpen Europaviertel” and “District Court” stops are also approached.

Line 964 will no longer start the “Philipp-Schneider-Straße” and “Erft Karree” stops, while three additional trips are planned on line 922 to enable passengers to switch to the commercial area at the “Erft Karree” stop. In addition, the SB92 will drive towards Sindorf/Elsdorf for the crossing Kölner Straße/Hahnenstraße and control the replacement stop "Kolping Center".
