Goldschmidtstrasse's construction underway for the next phase

On August 25, 2025, the much-anticipated CITYBAHN expansion in Essen will commence on Goldschmidtstraße in the east of the city. This significant development will affect two Ruhrbahn bus lines, specifically lines 154 and 155, which will be rerouted between the Rathaus Essen and Goldschmidtstraße stops during the construction period, estimated to last approximately four months.

During the construction, pedestrian traffic can bypass the construction site on the side. A detour for individual traffic will also be set up. For more detailed traffic information, residents and visitors are encouraged to visit www.our website/verkehrshinweise.

The western entrance area of Klosterstraße onto Goldschmidtstraße will be closed for the duration of the work. The affected residents will be informed in advance by letter. For press-related inquiries, please contact the Press and Communications Office for the city at presse@our website.

The Rathaus, or City Hall, is located on Porscheplatz, 45121 Essen. The CITYBAHN's website can be accessed at www.citybahn-our website.

A one-way traffic regulation will be implemented on Goldschmidtstraße towards Gerlingstraße. Directly affected residents and businesses are advised to plan accordingly. The work and associated restrictions are expected to continue until the end of the year.

The CITYBAHN expansion marks an exciting step forward for Essen's public transportation system, and we encourage everyone to stay informed and prepared for the changes ahead.
