The city of Wiesbaden and ESWE Supply have announced that a section of the Gustav-Stresemann-Ring will remain closed cityward until September 12, due to the replacement of an approximately 70-year-old water pipe.

Severe water damage necessitated the installation of new cast iron pipes, which will span 350 meters between Mainzer and Berliner Straße. The road surface will also be renewed in this area.

A pipe rupture on Gustav-Stresemann-Ring has necessitated an expansion of ongoing works. As a result, buses on lines 16, 28, 45, 46, X26, 262, and school buses will no longer stop at the "Statistisches Bundesamt" stop, starting from Monday, September 1. The "Brita-Arena" will serve as the alternative stop for these buses.

Line 37 will continue to stop at the "Berliner Straße" stop on the Gustav-Stresemann-Ring. The affected public transport company operating the bus lines influenced by construction work on Gustav-Stresemann-Ring is not explicitly named in the provided search results. However, since the location is Wiesbaden, the public transport services are likely operated by the regional transit authority responsible for Wiesbaden, typically the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) or ESWE Verkehr, but this is not explicitly confirmed by the search results provided.

One lane on the detour routes Mainzer Straße/ Frankfurter Straße has been reopened. The new pipes will be connected to Wittelsbacherstraße, Viktoriastraße, Dantestraße, and Salierstraße. The repair of the affected pipe was completed on August 8.
