Massive traffic restrictions in Schwerin: Construction site from July 25th!

Massive traffic restrictions in Schwerin: Construction site from July 25th!

In Schwerin, remarkable changes in city traffic will be announced from July 25th. A comprehensive renovation of the tracks and stops in Lübecker Straße, Grevesmühlener Straße and Kieler Straße ensures considerable restrictions that will last until September 6th. This has a direct impact on different lines, including tram line 2 and bus lines 17 and 18. As Schwerin Local , the goal of the measure is the modernization of the infrastructure and the accessible access for all passengers.

Already on Monday, July 21st, the preparatory work starts. From Friday, July 25th, at 8:00 p.m., a rail replacement traffic for tram line 2 between the main train station and the Lankow settlement will be set up. During this time, tram line 2 only runs between Hegelstraße and Marienplatz and then runs towards clinics to line 1. If you want to go to Lankow settlement, you have to switch to replacement traffic at the main train station, as the Kieler Strasse stop is not served.

Details on the restrictions

In addition, the Kieler Straße stop is replaced by a replacement stop in Gadebuscher Strasse. Bus traffic on Kieler Straße is completely suspended. If you are traveling with bus lines 17 or 18, you have to adjust to changes: line 17 will only run between Friedrichsthal and the Lankow settlement, while line 18 is diverted via Ratzeberger Straße. Replacement stops are set up in Büdnerstraße and Eutinier Straße, while the Ziegelhof, Rahlstedter/Gadebuscher Straße, Rahlstedter/Kieler Straße, Eutiner/Kieler Straße, Kieler Straße, are completely eliminated. This is a not very easy situation for many commuters and students!

In particular, private transport is severely restricted: the crossing area Lübecker/Grevesmühlener/Gadebuscher/Kieler Straße is partially or completely blocked. If you want to go into the city, you can only travel via the Gadebuscher and Lübecker Strasse; It is not possible to turn from Gadebuscher Straße to Grevesmühlener Straße. The entire construction site is also only approved for vehicles up to 3.5 tons, so that far -range bypasses are recommended. The website of the local transport company and the customer center on Marienplatz is accessible for further information on timetables, diversions and replacement stops.

future construction work

Not only the current construction sites cause excitement: On March 3, 2025, further measures begin on Franz-Mehring-Straße, which will also affect tram line 2 and bus lines 12 and 14. This work also brings with it adjustments and new lines, whereby stops such as the town house are no longer approached.

The anticipation for a modernized transport infrastructure in Schwerin is great, but first of all, passengers and drivers have to deal with the numerous detours and restrictions. A good hand is required, not only when navigating through the construction sites, but also when planning the daily ways.
