Massive closures in Greifswald: Downtown becomes an event restricted area!

Massive closures in Greifswald: Downtown becomes an event restricted area!

Greifswald, Deutschland - The preparations for the MV day in Greifswald are in full swing, and the effects are already clearly noticeable. From June 20, the city center will be transformed into a restricted area that is associated with massive traffic barriers. This affects not only through traffic, but also residents who can only leave their apartments in a few exceptional cases. The closures are necessary to enable the numerous events around the MV day, which takes place from June 20 to 22, as press portal reports.

The city recommends all passengers and visitors to bypass the city center extensively and to switch to the bypass (B109/B105). The construction of the locks begins on Friday, June 20, from 4 p.m. The pedestrian zone is blocked from Capaunenstrasse to the European crossing. Further blocked areas include:

• Hansering between Stralsunder Straße and Holzgasse
• area in front of the fan tower in Hafenstraße
• Salinenstrasse from Saturday, approx. 10:00 a.m.
• Friedrich-Loeffler-Straße between Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Straße and Hansering
• Rakower Straße, Fleischerstraße and Baderstrasse north of Domstraße

public transport and parking spaces

For public transport, there are also far -reaching changes. Bus lines 2 and 3 will not drive Friedrich-Loeffler-Straße between June 20, 4:00 p.m. and June 22nd. Stops such as zoo, Loefflerstraße Campus, Rathaus and Knopfstrasse are eliminated during this time. Cyclists and pedestrians are therefore particularly well advised to find out more about alternative routes in good time.

The “Rathaus” stop remains unanswered from June 17th to June 23. The bar of line 2 will still be extended on Friday and Saturday, with additional trips towards Wiecker Brücke and Schönwalde. For drivers who have to enter the city center, parking spaces are available such as at the museum port, where residential parking cards are free of charge. However, the parking lot at Hansering costs 3 euros per day.

environmentally friendly journey recommended

The city of Greifswald asks everyone to use environmentally friendly transport and switch to the wheel or local transport. In addition, there is an exhibition "Women to move" during the MV day, which is organized by the Heinrich Böll Foundation M-V, as Greifswald-netz. This is another reason to visit the city, even if the journey is likely to be a little more complex.

The city administration has already informed the citizens in advance and underlines the importance of environmentally friendly journey and the need for closures. With good planning, everyone can still become part of the hustle and bustle around the MV day-an event that attracts high visitor traffic and gives Greifswald alive.
