As part of the redevelopment of rue des Scillas and rue du Rangwee in view of the arrival of the tram and to better meet mobility requirements on this difficult section, major works will be undertaken from Monday 4 April 2022 and may cause traffic and public transport disruptions.
Details of changes
Circulation
Due to the scale of the works (particularly the underground works which extend over the entire roadway), a complete damming of the Rangwee will be necessary between the rue du 9 mai 1944 and the Rangwee tunnel from Monday 4 April until December 2022. The Rangwee Tunnel will remain open to traffic.
The detour will go through the Albert Bousser tunnel and the Thionville road (see detour map in appendix). The situation will improve somewhat with the opening of the new N3/N40 (between the Jean-Pierre Buchler bridge and rue de Neufchâteau), scheduled for the start of the 2022 school year.
Note that the section under construction will not be accessible for pedestrians either, from Monday April 4 to Sunday April 17, 2022. A detour will pass through the tennis courts (rue des Scillas) and rue Auguste Scholer.
AVL network buses
In this context, the City of Luxembourg would like to inform the public that the AVL network bus lines 3, 5, 20, 23, 28 and 29 will be adapted as follows:
- Due to the cancellation of line 5 in the crossing of Bonnevoie (rue du Cimetière), the timetable for line 3 (Howald, Waassertuerm (CIPA) – Beggen, Henri Dunant) is reinforced during the day and will run from Monday to Friday every quarter of an hour between approximately 7 am and 7 pm between the Bonnevoie LTB and Theater stops.
- During off-peak hours, journeys from/to Howald connect with line 5 at Bonnevoie-Léon XIII towards/from the town centre. Line 5 (Bertrange, Gemeng – Stade de Luxembourg) is diverted in both directions between Bonnevoie-Léon XIII and Howald-Moureschanz via rue de Hesperange and the Albert Bousser tunnel.
- The following stops are removed in both directions of traffic: Willibrord, Bonnevoie LTB, Neufchâteau and Rangwee.
- Between Bonnevoie/Howald and the commercial area of Howald, or even the Cloche d’Or, users can alternatively use line 5 at the Léon XIII or Dernier Sol stops, otherwise line 29 from Bonnevoie to the central station and change there to lines 20 (platform 1) or 28 (platform 2).
- Line 20 (Hollerich-Bouillon – Cloche d’Or-Guillaume Kroll) is diverted in both directions between Gare-Rocade and Gasperich-Leonardo Da Vinci and serves the commercial area of Howald and Boulevard Raiffeisen, replacing line 29 which has been canceled on this route.
- The following stops are included in the new route: Howald-Moureschanz, Howald-Ronnebësch, Howald-P+R Lux-Sud and Gerhard Mercator.
- The Francophonie stop on the old route has been removed, service remains provided by lines 23 and 28.
- Between the Francophonie and Bonnevoie LTB stops, line 23 (Eich, Cultural Center – Bonnevoie) is diverted in both directions via the Albert Bousser tunnel and the Thionville road.
- The following stops are removed: Neufchâteau Quai 2 and Rangwee. On the diverted route, line 23 serves the Last Sol, Hippodrome and Neufchâteau Quai 1 stops. At Bonnevoie, the route is extended to the new Demy Schlechter terminus.
- On the central station – Hesperange, Cité Um Schlass section, line 28 (Hesperange, Cité um Schlass – Howald, P+R Lux-Sud) is diverted in both directions through the Albert Bousser tunnel.
- The following stops are removed in both directions of traffic: Dernier Sol, Hippodrome, Neufchâteau and Rangwee. Users from/to the stops in question can use line 29 serving the Thionville road or line 3 serving the Neufchâteau and Rangwee stops.
- The route of line 29 (Cloche d’Or, Guillaume Kroll – Senningerberg, Charlys Statioun) is limited to the Bonnevoie-LTB – Senningerberg, Charlys Statioun journey for all races (currently ‘short journey’ on Sundays); the Neufchâteau – Guillaume Kroll section is deleted. As a replacement for line 29, the Howald and Cloche d’Or commercial area is served by line 28 and additionally by diverted line 20.
