Everything is rolling! - We own the road
Join in the action on 20 September, 2 to 6 p.m., Brückenstraße - Call for photos: Show us your Mobi week
On Friday, 20 September, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., the participatory campaign "Alles rollt! - We own the road" - a highlight of this year's European Mobility Week - will take place on Brückenstraße and at the Karl Marx Monument. On this day, the area will become a "street space of mindfulness". The event aims to show what is possible with environmentally friendly and shared use of street space.
For the event, one side of Brückenstraße will be closed to traffic from 11 am to 8.30 pm from Straße der Nationen to the "Rondell" car park (exit is possible) in the direction of Theaterstraße/ Mühlenstraße.
The bypass is possible via Straße der Nationen - Georgstraße - Mühlenstraße - Theaterstraße.
