Road Closures
Numerous streets will be closed for the marathon, affecting bus and tram lines. Around 9 to 10 am, Brill intersection and the Ostertor/Altenwall area will be closed, causing lines 2 and 3 to be detoured between Doventor (line 2) or Eduard-Schopf-Allee (line 3) and Sielwall.
Further Information
Exact details, such as the rerouted streets and replacement stops, are usually provided by BSAG in their public notices before the event.

During the 19th swb Marathon in Bremen, sports enthusiasts may also encounter changes in sports-betting opportunities due to the disruptions in transportation. For instance, Line 26 will be diverted in both directions, potentially affecting bets on games or events within reach of the skipped stops like Friedrich-Engels-Straße and Pfarrfeldsweg. Additionally, Line 21 will be diverted in both directions between Sebaldsbrück and Heinrich-Hertz-Straße, which could influence betting decisions for events or contests in those areas.
