Refurbishment of the bus stops in Weil am Rhein: Security is going on!

in Weil am Rhein are due to significant renovation work, which primarily affect the bus stops in the urban area. As the Black Forest Bode worn out, which is noticeable by cracks, track channels and material fatigue. In particular for older and disabled people, this damage represents a security risk.

The planned renovations focus on the “Rathaus” stops. The work is divided into two construction phases: The north bay will be renovated from July 7th to 11th, 2025 and the south side from July 14th to 18th, 2025. During this time, passengers of lines 6, 16 and 66 have to switch to the Marktstrasse or train station/center stops, which are only 200 to 260 meters away. Only the southern bay is affected for line 12, and here too the same alternative stops are available. Anyone who uses line 55 towards Basel must also switch to Marktstrasse during the renovation of the Nordbucht, since there is no near -the -counter station.

accessibility in the focus

Also in connection with barrier -free mobility, a conversion of four bus stops in Weil am Rhein started on March 20. Affected stops are the "Bühlstraße", "Leimgrubenstraße Nord", "Leimgrubenstraße Süd" and the "Kant-Gymnasium". The aim of these conversions is to increase the accessibility of the stops and contain measures such as increasing the curbs and the laying of a tactile control system. The stops cannot be operated during the renovation work, and the sidewalks in the affected areas are not passable. The conversion takes place in two phases by always working on two stops at the same time.

The RegioTrends Magazin emphasizes that with the conversion of the stops, a replacement bus stop near the "Bühlstraße" is also set up to ensure the mobility of passengers during the construction period. The stops in Breslauer Straße also remain unanswered during the work, and the "Kant-Gymnasium" cannot be approached due to a full closure in the area of ​​the city library.

additional mobility projects

In addition to the renovation of the bus stops, other infrastructural measures are also used. The Jaumann and the tender could take place at short notice, while construction is still pending for bridge number 6. In addition, the center of town is being redesigned in the Halting Center around the former train station to create a "green band" with residence zones and parking spaces for bicycles. In the future, cyclists can drive on the east side of Haltingen in parallel to the tracks, which should further improve mobility.

Overall, the city and those responsible face a variety of challenges to sustainably improve mobility in Weil am Rhein. The renovations and conversions are a step in the right direction to meet the requirements of all road users and to create a safe and barrier -free environment.
