Construction site chaos: traffic adjustments in Halle from Monday!
Bad news for commuters in the Saale district: From Monday, October 27, 2025, passengers will have to prepare for drastic changes to OBS regular services. The reason for this is construction work on the mainline bridges at the Holzplatz as well as on the mainline itself. These construction sites mean that buses during rush hour already end in Neustadt, as is the case dubisthalle.de reported.
The decision to adjust the timetables was made together with the Saalekreis district and Nahverkehr Sachsen-Anhalt GmbH (NASA). This is intended to help reduce delays that often last more than 10 minutes during rush hour. The Halle S-Bf stop is particularly affected. Neustadt, where passengers have access to the HAVAG tram lines.
Changes in the timetable
The changes affect several bus routes, which are now being rerouted. Here is an overview of the affected lines:
| line | Changes |
|---|---|
| 309 | Journeys from Schochwitz end at Halle, S-Bf. Neustadt, during peak hours. Additional trips are offered in the morning and afternoon. |
| 312 | Journeys from the direction of Querfurt also end at Halle, S-Bf. Neustadt, while additional trips start reliably. |
| 320 | Similar to the previous lines, journeys from the direction of Bad Lauchstädt end at Halle, S-Bf. Neustadt with improvements in morning and afternoon traffic. |
| 380 | The line runs from the direction of Müllerdorf and has special stop adjustments. |
| 381 | This line also ends at Halle, S-Bf. Neustadt, with a changed frequency in the important periods. |
All of these adjustments will be particularly effective during the morning and afternoon rush hours. The Halle stop, S-Bf. Neustadt thus becomes the central hub for many commuters.
Additional information on mobility
For everyone who needs further information: The website bahn.de currently provides a disruption map with current train cancellations and provides real-time train positions and departure boards. Here, passengers can also find out about upcoming construction sites or set up push notifications about possible delays.
These changes are just part of the ongoing efforts to make local transport in the Saale district more attractive and targeted. By making the bus more reliable and reducing delays, those responsible are increasing the customer friendliness of regional transport providers.
The realization that there are often problems with mobility is leading to a creative rethinking of public transport. It remains to be hoped that the improvements resulting from the adjustments will ultimately benefit the entire transport system in the Saale district. The focus remains on giving commuters a good handle on daily mobility.
