Disrupted Tram Services: Partial Operational Shutdown in Railways
Dresden residents and visitors are advised of upcoming changes to the city's tram services over the weekend, as repair work is scheduled to take place at Güntzplatz.
The repair work, initiated on Friday at 4:10 AM and concluding on Monday morning, will affect both Line 6 and Line 13. As a result, these lines will operate on a rerouted basis over the weekend.
Line 6 will only operate between Wolfnitz and Albertplatz in the west, and from Niedersedlitz to Güntzplatz in the east. From Güntzplatz, the line will continue as Line 13 to Prohlis. In the northwest, Line 6 will only run between Kaditz and Rosa-Luxemburg Platz.
On Friday, service on Line 13 will end at Görlitz Street station by 3 PM due to additional construction sites. Line 13 will not operate as usual over the weekend, with buses replacing trams between Albertplatz and Permoserstraße on Friday. Coming from Prohlis, Line 13 will only go as far as Dürerstraße, then continue as Line 6 to Niedersedlitz.
Only left-turning traffic from Sachsenallee towards Gerokstraße will need to detour via Dürerstraße due to the repair work. However, it is important to note that minimal traffic disruptions are expected overall.
At this time, specific alternative routes for tram lines 6 and 13 during the track repair at Güntzplatz over the weekend have not been provided in local information sources. The Dresden Public Transport Authority (DVB) is the best source for detailed information on detours and replacement services for such works.
Residents and travellers are encouraged to check the DVB service updates or contact them directly for the latest alternative route plans for lines 6 and 13 during the weekend track repairs at Güntzplatz. The DVB usually provides comprehensive information on detours and replacement services for such works.
