Construction of railway restoration along Olvenstedter Straat enters its next stage, leading to a shift in bus routes
In the city of Magdeburg, a track renovation project by MVB (Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe) is underway between Friesenstraße and Olvenstedter Platz, scheduled to take place from August 11 to October 30, 2025. This renovation aims to improve public transport services and maintain smooth operations during the construction period.
During this time, several bus lines will be temporarily rerouted to accommodate the construction work. Here are the details for some of the affected bus lines:
- Bus Line N9, in the direction of Wissenschaftshafen, will be rerouted via Harsdorfer Straße, the Europaring, and Albert-Vater-Straße, skipping the stop Friesenstraße. As a replacement, the stop Stormstraße will be served.
- Bus Line 72, in the direction of Am Stern, will be rerouted via the Europaring and Albert-Vater-Straße, skipping the stops Olvenstedter Platz and Friesenstraße, and serving the stops Harsdorfer Straße and Stormstraße instead.
The opposite direction of Bus Line N9 and the opposite direction of Bus Line 73 will remain unchanged.
It is worth noting that construction work will take place both day and night, which may result in noise disturbances during evening and nighttime hours. The construction companies have been instructed to keep these noise disturbances to a minimum.
Regarding Bus Line N6, the reroute details were not provided in the text. For precise information, including which bus lines are rerouted, exact alternative routes, and updated timetables during the renovation period, checking the official MVB website or contacting their customer service closer to or during the renovation dates is recommended.
The renovation of MVB tracks in Olvenstedter Straße is progressing faster than planned, with the third phase now including the section up to Olvenstedter Platz.
For a smooth journey during the renovation period, passengers are advised to plan their trips accordingly and stay informed about the changes to their bus routes.
- In light of the improvements happening in Magdeburg's public-transit system, other industries may consider partnerships with MVB for potential funding opportunities in transportation infrastructure finance.
- The construction on MVB tracks might impact bus Line N6's route, but, as information is yet to be released, passengers should consult the official MVB website or customer service for updates on their bus service during the renovation period.
