Street configuration: Adolf-Todt-Street Implemented as a one-way road.
In the heart of Wiesbaden, Germany, a temporary detour is in place for line 9 buses during weekends from August 1 to August 24, 2025. The detour is a result of a traffic trial on the banks of the Rhine at Biebrich [1].
The trial has led to the exclusion of motorised vehicles, including buses, from the area of Rheingaustraße in front of Biebrich Palace. This area is now reserved exclusively for bicycle traffic during the trial hours (Fridays 6 pm to Sundays 10 pm) [1].
To accommodate this, line 9 buses will bypass the Rheingaustraße area during the specified weekends and times. The buses will follow a detour as planned by ESWE-Verkehr [1]. The exact street-level routing beyond this is managed to maintain access for residents but restricts general bus traffic through the palace front zone [1].
Passengers are advised to account for additional time when planning their trips. Timetable information for the affected stops can be found at the timetable displays. For further general information, passengers should check the timetable displays of the affected stops [2].
The timetable and fare information are also available via the hotline of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund, reachable around the clock under the number (069) 24248024 [3]. An overview of all detour announcements can be found at www.eswe-verkehr.de [4].
The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, the publisher of the press release, can be contacted at Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden [5]. The ESWE-Verkehr service telephone is reachable from Monday to Friday between 7 and 18 o'clock and on Saturdays from 8 to 15 o'clock under the number (0611) 45022450 [6].
A graphic titled "250801 Adolf-Todt-Straße" from ESWE Verkehr / Baumgardt Consultants is included in the press release. The graphic can be found at the provided link in the article [7]. The file size of the graphic is 279.89 kB.
It is important to note that trips on line 9, in the direction of Schierstein, are following this temporary route. Trips in the direction of Mainz are not affected by this measure [8].
Citizens can contact the responsible department, office or the switchboard of the town hall with questions. Access to the residential area remains possible only via the "Anlieger frei" regulation from the direction of Rathausstraße, and the residential areas are kept accessible by allowing authorized residents and essential services to enter certain zones at any time [1].

The temporal detour for line 9 buses on weekends from August 1 to August 24, 2025, in Wiesbaden, is due to a traffic trial on the banks of the Rhine at Biebrich, which has excluded motorised vehicles, including buses, from the area of Rheingaustraße in front of Biebrich Palace. The public-transit industry and transportation sector have to adapt, as the detour affects the usual route of these buses.
