Ensuring the Execution of the Community's Energy Policy: Steps Taken by the Commission
In Wiesbaden, a water pipe burst on Gustav-Stresemann-Ring near Brita Arena on Friday morning. The damaged section of the pipe, a cast iron pipe from 1954, is currently being excavated.
As a result, police have rerouted traffic from the intersection with Mainzer Straße. All lanes in the direction of the "Statistisches Bundesamt" bus stop from Mainzer Straße are closed. The traffic backup is causing delays in the opposite direction as well.
ESWE Supply, the local utility company, reported the pipe failure at 12:22 PM. To ensure safety, they have closed the area around the pipe repair site.
The "Wiesbadener Kurier" is reporting on the traffic rerouting. However, as of August 12, 2025, there are no detailed or direct updates in the provided search results about current traffic disruptions or detours specifically caused by the water pipe burst.
For the most current and accurate information on traffic disruptions near Brita Arena, it is recommended to check Wiesbaden city official traffic or mobility websites, local news outlets, or real-time traffic reporting services.
