Workers' Safety from Electronic Network Risks Demands Proposal from Commission Consideration

Starting on the 14th of December 2025, the Mühlen Tor Bridge in Lübeck will close for bus traffic due to structural issues. The Hanseatic City of Lübeck, Lübeck Stadtwerke Mobil, and the transport authority have agreed to this closure.

The Mühlen Tor Bridge, a major traffic hub, will only allow vehicles up to a maximum of 3.5 tons, including cars, vans, and smaller campers after the closure. This closure will significantly increase the load on Wahmstraße, with up to 71 buses per hour passing through.

Several bus lines will be affected by the diversion due to the closure of the Mühlentorbrücke for bus traffic. The affected lines include 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 15, 16, and 17. On the detour routes, all stops will still be served.

Line 4 will be split, with the section between Gustav-Radbruch-Platz and Heiweg operated as a new line 41 after the Mühlen Tor Bridge closure. Line 15 and 25 will no longer go directly to the city center after the closure. Passengers may have to change buses at points such as the Sana clinics or Gustav-Radbruch-Platz. However, most passengers will still be able to travel directly.

Senator for Urban Development Joanna Hagen says that with the planned detours, they ensure the most important connections and provide reliable bus traffic. The new timetables for bus routes affected by the Mühlen Tor Bridge closure will be published in early November 2025.

The Hanseatic City of Lübeck and Lübeck Stadtwerke Mobil ask for understanding regarding the necessary measures for the Mühlen Tor Bridge closure. With these changes, they aim to maintain the city's efficient and accessible public transportation system.
