Public transport

Buses 41 and 42 will not be running until after 2.30pm, with nr. 42 being diverted along the Dornbachstraße, Lahnstraße and Hohemarkstraße to avoid the Altkönigstraße and the Markplatz.
The Königsteiner Straße was re-opened this week – earlier than expected due to the favourable weather conditions.
