Street Race Interruptions: Significant Impasses in Wiesbaden
Prepare for extensive traffic disruptions and parking restrictions during the Ikano Bank City Marathon in Wiesbaden on June 28
Get ready for some major chaos on the roads of Wiesbaden, as the much-anticipated Ikano Bank City Marathon rolls into town on Saturday, June 28. Here's the lowdown on what to expect:
Road closures, detours, and traffic jams- The marathon starts at 19:15 in Wilhelmstraße and winds its way through Kaiser-Friedrich-Platz, Nerotal, Kurpark, and the city center, finishing at Schlossplatz.- From 14:00 on Saturday, Wilhelmstraße between Burgstraße and Kureck will be shut off to traffic. As the race progresses, the entire course will be blocked off around 18:15. Anticipate traffic bottlenecks along the route and feeder streets. The city predicts rigorous traffic limits between 14:00 and 0:15.
Parking spaces unavailable, detours established- Parking along the marathon route will be out of bounds from 11:00. In Bahnhofstraße, the section between Rheinstraße and Friedrichstraße is a one-way street towards Friedrichstraße. In Rheinstraße, traffic will be steered towards Ringkirche between Bahnhofstraße and Kirchgasse.- Road closures will be progressively opened after the last runner and should end no later than Sunday, June 29, at 0:15. The city advises staying away from the event area.
A school class run will take place in Kurpark on Friday, June 27, from 10:30 to 11:30. Expect traffic snags on Josef-von-Lauff-Straße, Fichtestraße, and An der Dietenmühle.
Pro Tips:- Choose public transportation over driving if possible.- Park outside affected zones and walk or use shuttle services.- Plan extra travel time if you need to drive through or near the Wiesbaden city center.- Keep an eye on the official marathon website or local Wiesbaden city traffic updates for the latest maps and closure times.
By planning ahead, you can avoid unnecessary headaches and contribute to a smooth and enjoyable marathon day! If you're keen, I can share a link to the official Wiesbaden city or marathon website for the most up-to-date info.
Prepare for other sports activities in Wiesbaden as well, as the school class run in Kurpark takes place on June 27.
Remember that other sports events like the school run may cause additional traffic disruptions around the city, along with Josef-von-Lauff-Straße, Fichtestraße, and An der Dietenmühle.
