Traffic lights stand! Barrier -free conversion of the Steinbruck bus stop almost ended

The conversion of the Steinbruck bus stop at Landesstraße 1150, which runs between Schorndorf and Welzheim, is currently underway. The construction work aims to make the stop barrier-free so that travelers can get in and out in both directions without hurdles. These measures are part of a more comprehensive project in which a total of six bus stops in the districts of Rems-Murr and Göppingen are converted. The background to this initiative is the aim of the state of Baden-Württemberg to improve mobility for all citizens, especially for people with restricted mobility.

The construction work at the Steinbruck stop started on June 11th and lasted until July 1, 2025. During this time, traffic was regulated by traffic lights to ensure security for everyone involved. In order to continue to maintain the bus operation, replacement bus stops in the immediate vicinity have been set up. Overall, the state of Baden-Württemberg is investing around 150,000 euros per pair of stops in the project, which, in addition to increasing the curbs, also includes improving the travel options for buses.

Details on the conversion and infrastructure

The barrier-free conversion includes several essential measures: the curbs on the bus dough are increased, the entry and exit area enlarged and the journey for buses noticeably improved. The Stuttgart (RPS) regional council, which coordinates this renovation, asks those affected for understanding possible impairments during the construction period. Further information on the current road construction sites in the region is available on the website of the road traffic center of the state of Baden-Württemberg.

The project reflects the commitment of the State of Baden-Württemberg to sustainably improve the infrastructure and to promote mobility for all citizens. In particular, accessibility plays a central role in enabling everyone to access public transport.

An important aspect of the traffic project is also the traffic light control, which enables flowing traffic to be controlled during construction work. This measure serves the security of all road users and helps to keep the impairments by the construction sites as low as possible.

The conversion of the Steinbruck bus stop is not only an important improvement for the users of public transport, but also a sign of the sustainable development of the regional infrastructure.
