Construction of railway repairs begins on Olvenstedter Street, leading to bus line reroutes, effective immediately

In the heart of Magdeburg, the Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe (MVB) is currently undertaking a significant renovation project on its aging tram tracks in Olvenstedter Straße. This construction work has led to temporary changes in the schedules and routes for several bus lines in the city.

As of now, there are no relevant search results providing information about the temporary rerouting, schedules, or alternative stops for bus lines 72, 73, N6, and N9. However, for the most accurate and current details on schedule changes, temporary rerouting, and alternative bus stops for these lines during the MVB track renovation, citizens are advised to check directly with the MVB official website or their customer service, local government or transport authority announcements, or physical signage at impacted stops.

Here are the specific changes for each affected bus line:

  • Bus line N9: In the direction of Am Stern, the line will be rerouted via Harsdorfer Straße, Europaring, and Albert-Vater-Straße, skipping the stop Friesenstraße but serving Harsdorfer Straße as an alternative and Stormstraße as an additional stop. In the opposite direction, the line will remain unchanged.
  • Bus line N6: In the direction of Alter Markt, the line will be rerouted via Albert-Vater-Straße, skipping the stops Wilhelmstaedter Platz, Friesenstraße, Olvenstedter Platz, and Harsdorfer Straße but serving Stormstraße as an alternative. The opposite direction of the line will be rerouted via Stormstraße, serving the additional stop Stormstraße.
  • Bus line 72: In the direction of Am Stern, the line will be rerouted via Europaring and Albert-Vater-Straße, skipping the stops at Olvenstedter Platz and Friesenstraße but serving Harsdorfer Straße and Stormstraße instead. The opposite direction of the line will not be affected by the reroute.
  • Bus line 73: In the direction of Wissenschaftshafen, the line will travel via Harsdorfer Straße, Europaring, and Albert-Vater-Straße, skipping the regular stop at Friesenstraße and serving Olvenstedter Platz and Stormstraße as alternatives. The opposite direction of the line will remain unchanged.

The construction companies have been instructed to keep noise disturbances to a minimum, but residents may still experience some noise during the day and evening hours due to the ongoing construction work. The construction work on the MVB tracks in Olvenstedter Straße is progressing faster than planned, with Phase 3 starting on August 11 and ending on October 30.

For the latest updates and precise schedules, citizens are encouraged to monitor official announcements from the MVB and local authorities, and to check for physical signage at affected bus stops. The text/Foto source for this article is MVB/Tim Stein.
