Mülheim bridge: Stadtbahn lines 13 and 18 will start again on September 15th!

Unique news for the Cologne citizens: From September 15, the Mülheimer Brücke will finally be released again for the light rail operation. Cologne Verkehrs-Betriebe AG (KVB) have worked a lot on it, and now the commuters can look forward to a new timetable. According to Rheinische-webstblaetter.de , the belt line 13 is again every 15-minute cycle-a clear progress for all users of this line.

But that's not all: The days of the transfer lye at the “Slabystraße” stops in Niehl and “Mülheim, Wiener Platz” are over, because these stops will no longer be any final stops. This is a welcome relief that will appreciate many passengers. From September 15, line 1 from Monday to Friday from 3:30 p.m. will also be traveling between Brück and Moltkestrasse every 5 minutes. During the day, however, the 20-minute cycle remains on Saturdays, as stadt-koeln.de reported.

improvements in bus traffic

In bus traffic, a lot is also regulated. On August 28, a changed timetable comes into force, which provides for additional shuttle trips on lines 139 and 144 to facilitate the way to the students. The “Werthmannstraße” stop is also being re -established for line 136. Lines 172 and 173 will also start the “Unter Sachsenhausen” stop. There is no stone on the other to optimize local public transport in Cologne.

The KVB has also carried out some important infrastructural measures to restore light rail operations. The long construction work, which was necessary due to the repair work on the Stadtbahn area of the Mülheimer Brücke, had interrupted the light rail connections, which was a major challenge for many passengers. But now there is light at the end of the tunnel.

construction work on the Mülheimer Brücke

The construction work on the bridge was extensive. It had to be renewed the medium strain area and edit the stipulated wind warehouse, which ensure the stability of the bridge in strong winds. This work was extended, but the cracks in the end crossers caused by the stated camps have now been repaired, which has confirmed koeln.de

The measurement of the track layer has already been carried out and the adjustment is also imminent. By mid -September, all the last work including the acceptance by the technical supervisory authority should be completed. This means that the light rail will be put back into operation at 3 a.m. and that the Cologne citizens can soon enjoy their usual crossing again.

In Cologne, all passengers can look forward to a new, improved timetable in both the light rail and bus traffic- a positive development that helps Karlsruhe to make a living and appealing traffic concept!
