The closure also affects cyclists. Pedestrians can use their usual paths. The city asks for understanding regarding the traffic disruptions caused by the work. The city regularly renews streets, lines, and canals. Therefore, there are approximately 5,000 construction sites in Wiesbaden each year. A map of selected measures can be found at **our website.de/baustellen (Opens in a new tab)**. If buses are affected, ESWE Verkehr provides information on detours at **eswe-verkehr.de (Opens in a new tab)**. All work is an investment in the future. Without these works, major damage and stronger traffic disruptions would occur sooner or later. This press release was issued by the Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden, Schlossplatz 6, 65183 Wiesbaden, **pressereferat*our website*de**.
