Restoration efforts on the Historic Old Town Bridge

The construction work on Pforzheimer's Altstädter Bridge, specifically at the Helios Clinic, is still ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of August. During this time, the stops Emma-Jaeger-Bad and Inselschule will not be served.

The exact traffic and bus route changes for the Altstädter Bridge surface renewal work from August 14, 2023, cannot be confirmed without specific, updated local sources or official announcements from Pforzheimer authorities or transit agencies. However, based on typical procedures for similar construction projects, it is likely that there will be temporary traffic restrictions such as lane closures, detours, or reduced speed limits. Bus routes passing over the bridge might be temporarily rerouted or experience delays.

For the most accurate and current information on traffic and bus route changes for the Altstädter Bridge surface renewal, it is recommended to check Pforzheimer municipal websites, local transport authorities, or official press releases.

The construction work will be carried out in two phases. The Altstädter Bridge bus stop will be moved back by approximately 50 meters, and the Line 9 bus service will take a detour via Deimlingstraße and Holzgartenstraße for both directions. The Line 9 bus service will run via Altstädter Kirchenweg and the Altstädter Bridge before the detour.

The work will involve replacing the damaged coating on the western sidewalk of the Altstädter Bridge and the road surface in the bridge connection in Holzgartenstraße and Altstädter Kirchenweg. The road of Altstädter Kirchenweg will be closed in sections between Parkstraße and Holzgartenstraße. The bus detour for Line 9 will affect the stops on Altstädter Kirchenweg and the Altstädter Bridge.

Outbound traffic towards the clinic can be maintained during the entire measure, but inbound traffic will be rerouted via the Auer Bridge. The stops Hochschule für Gestaltung and Klinikum Pforzheim will be served during the detour. The western sidewalk of the Altstädter Bridge will be closed.
