'Bremen's City Triathlon': anticipated traffic disruptions, including bus and tram detours, on August 11th.
On August 11, the city of Bremen will host the Gewoba City Triathlon, an event expected to attract over 1,000 athletes and more than 1,000 spectators. This exciting competition, spanning from the Überseestadt to Gröpelingen, will bring about several road closures and public transportation detours affecting BSAG tram lines 3, 20, 26, and 28.
Road Closures
Key streets around the city center and triathlon route will be closed temporarily during the event, especially in the morning and midday hours when the race is active. Areas near the Weser River and in the Schlachte area will also be affected due to the swimming and transition zones. Specific closure times vary but generally begin early morning and last until early afternoon.
Impacts on BSAG Tram Lines
- Line 3: Will experience detours around the city center. Some stops might be skipped or temporarily relocated.
- Line 20: Rerouted to avoid the closed streets near the race course; expect delays and altered schedules.
- Line 26: Partial route modifications with possible interruptions between key stops closest to the triathlon area. The replacement stop for Line 26 is located at Bremerhavener Straße 180.
- Line 28: Will also be detoured to bypass closed roads near the event, with temporary stop adjustments. The Waller Ring stop on Line 28 will be moved to Bremerhavener Straße 140 in the direction of the University.
