Full closure in Jena: Construction work paralyze bus traffic from Monday!

Jena. The construction work on the state road will lead to comprehensive changes in bus traffic.

From October 14th, the state road 1075 between Schöngleina and the Ruttersdorf branch will be completely closed to the end of the year. This measure affects the first construction phase in particular, which includes the area between Schöngleina and the Scheiditz junction.

changes in bus traffic

The blocking has direct effects on several bus lines of the Jena transport companies. Lines 47, 472 and 473 are affected by the changes. Here are the main adjustments:

• Bus lines 472 and 473 are diverted via the locations Lucka, Rodigast and Talürgel, which means that passengers have to use alternative routes.
• The regular stop in Schöngleina towards Hermsdorf can no longer be approached. Instead, a replacement stop was set up at the intersection of Hauptstraße/in the Unterdorf/in the Oberdorf to ensure access to passengers.
• The stop at Scheiditz branch is deleted without replacement, which is a significant change for some travelers.
• The Bobeck and Scheiditz stops are only hit sporadically, which limits accessibility for some passengers.

For further details on the adapted timetables, those affected can visit the website of Stadtwerke Jena at www.stadtwerke-jena.de/Nahver. Current information is also available at the stops to provide the passengers the required information.

The need for these measures results from the upcoming construction work that aims to improve the transport infrastructure in and around Jena. These changes are important with regard to the future traffic situation and are intended to help optimize the road conditions in the long term, even if you have some challenges in the short term. The users of local public transport and residents are asked to show understanding for the necessary impairments.
