Modernisation of Brackwede main street
March 2022 until end of 2024

We are planning the development of the main street in Bielefeld-Brackwede together with the City of Bielefeld.
Three elevated platforms will be constructed to provide barrier-free accessibility in public transport, as required by law. In addition, the StadtBahn tram platforms will be adapted for the future use of Vamos trams.
The aim is to modernise and develop the entire transport space for all users. Footpaths, cycle lanes, parking and bus stops will be reorganised to eliminate areas of conflict.
Information overview:

The main construction phase begins on 1 April 2023, which also involves the construction of the new tram platforms Gaswerkstraße, Normannenstraße and Brackwede Kirche.
For this reason, the main street will be completely closed between Gaswerkstraße and Jenaer Straße. During this time, tram line 1 will also no longer run between these stops and will terminate at the train station Brackwede Bahnhof.
Medical practices and stores along Hauptstraße are accessible on foot at all times. Signposts to/from the replacement stops will be put in place.
