Traffic information

What is the current traffic situation?

For vehicular traffic

The affected sections of road will be gradually closed off to traffic as the project progresses. Rue Mühlenbach is currently a two-way thoroughfare and traffic will occasionally be regulated by traffic lights.

Pedestrian access and access for emergency services will be maintained throughout the duration of the works. Vehicular access to private property will be maintained for as long as is technically possible.

For businesses and deliveries

The City of Luxembourg will do its best to ensure access for deliveries to local businesses throughout the duration of the works.

Changes to traffic flows will be implemented as the works progress. Appropriate signage will be put in place by the Service Circulation (Traffic Depatment). The City of Luxembourg thanks local residents, businesses and road users for their understanding and regrets any inconvenience that the works may cause.

Bus routes will remain unchanged. Bus stops will be relocated as and when necessary.
