In addition, several operating interruptions on line 2 are planned for August and September. These take place in the nights from August 16 to 18 and from September 27th to September 29th, from 3 a.m. to 3 a.m. Replacement traffic on buses will be set up, while during construction work will also change for pedestrians. The paths are signposted accordingly. Drivers of cars and trucks should also be prepared on a narrowed street on the large column path, which allows passages at the level of the stop, but will not offer any parking facilities, as has already been mentioned.

But the new buildings are not only limited to the high -pane stamp in Vahrenheider Markt and Great Kolonnenweg. Investments are also made in the north of Hanover. Among other things, there are new elevated cable cars on Vahrenwalder Straße and the old airport, while at the same time working on the locations Kabelkamp and Windausstrasse. These comprehensive measures are part of the future -oriented light rail transport of the Üstra and are intended to sustainably improve the comfort for passengers.
