From Monday, September 1, 2025, to Friday, September 5, 2025, tram lines 6, 8, and 13 in Dresden will operate on temporary routes due to a construction site under Hoyerswerdaer Straße. Here are the key changes:
Line 6: Divided into two sections, west (Wölfnitz to Eisenbahnstraße) and east (Tolkewitz to Prohlis via Güntzplatz).
Line 13: Also divided, west (Kaditz to Görlitzer Straße) and east (Prohlis to Tolkewitz via Güntzplatz).
Line 8: Temporarily returns to its previous route via Augustusbrücke and Postplatz between Albertplatz and Hauptbahnhof.
Bus replacement: EV6 runs between Anton-/Leipziger Straße and Güntzplatz via Albertplatz and Albertbrücke.
Traffic Disruptions Ahead
These tram diversions may lead to significant traffic restrictions on Hoyerswerdaer, Rothenburger, and Louisenstraße during the construction period. A full closure is expected on Louisen- and Rothenburger Straße from September 1 to 3.
Commuters are advised to plan their routes carefully and allow for extra time during these disruptions. For real-time updates, follow Dresden Public Transport.
