Königsbrücker Straße: Latest information on how to get to HELLERAU

Renovation work on Königsbrücker Straße will begin in September 2026. This will also affect the route to HELLERAU. First, the good news: HELLERAU will remain accessible at all times. However, if you are travelling from the city centre, you should allow a little extra time and check the latest timetable information.

We will also keep you informed on this page throughout the construction period about the latest changes to traffic management, diversions and adjustments to local public transport services.

What is being reconstructed?

Königsbrücker Straße is one of the most important links between Dresden’s Neustadt district and the north of the city. It stretches for around five kilometres from Albertplatz to Klotzsche. The long-planned upgrade will begin in September 2026, initially on the southern section between Albertplatz and Stauffenbergallee.

Over a stretch of around 1.5 kilometres, the road, tram tracks and stops will be completely renewed and the traffic flow reorganised. The upgrade will take place in several construction phases and will span several years.

You can find the presentation by the State Capital of Dresden on the first southern construction phase here.

What does this mean for your journey to HELLERAU?

Particularly in Dresden’s Neustadt district, there may be changes to traffic routes and longer journey times whilst the works are underway. Tram services are also affected by the construction work.

Getting there by tram

During the first phase of construction, from summer 2026 to summer 2027, tram lines 7 and 8 between Albertplatz and Bischofsweg are scheduled to be diverted via Großenhainer Straße and Fritz-Reuter-Straße. Line 13 will run as scheduled during this period. For lines 7 and 8, an additional journey time of around eight minutes in each direction is expected.

For your journey to HELLERAU, this means: HELLERAU will remain accessible at all times. However, if you are travelling from the city centre, you should allow a little extra time and check the latest timetable information.

In addition to the works on Königsbrücker Straße, there will be further restrictions on Dresden’s tram network in September 2026: from 7 to 28 September 2026, lines 3, 6 and 11 will be diverted due to track works on Antonstraße. These changes may be particularly relevant for those travelling from the direction of Neustadt.

Travelling by car

Traffic management in the Königsbrücker Straße area will also change for motorists. Depending on the stage of construction, there may be road closures, diversions and longer journey times.

Anyone travelling from the city centre towards the HELLERAU should therefore expect restrictions, particularly in the areas around Albertplatz, Bischofsweg and Stauffenbergallee.

Good to know

Construction work will initially begin on the southern section between Albertplatz and Stauffenbergallee. Further phases of construction will follow in the coming years. We will keep you updated here on any changes relevant to your journey to HELLERAU.

Please check the latest updates before you travel. You can also find the most up-to-date timetable information on the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe website.
