Safety first: traffic warnings at the Mainuferfest in Offenbach!

The Mainuferfest in Offenbach is just around the corner! On June 14th and 15th, the city on the Main will be a venue for celebrations and socializing. Comprehensive safety precautions have been taken to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Traffic diversions are already necessary to ensure the event runs safely. Mainstrasse will be closed on both days from Saturday 6 a.m. to Sunday 10 p.m., as will Schlossstrasse, which will no longer be accessible to through traffic. Diversions have been set up so that vehicles from Bürgel can reach Berliner Straße via Karlstrasse. Traffic in the opposite direction will be routed via Mühlheimer Straße, while Schlossstraße will only be accessible in the section between Berliner Straße and Schlossgrabengasse.

Preparations for the festival are already in full swing. The construction site for laying a new medium-voltage line along Mainstrasse will be temporarily stopped so that safety precautions can be taken for the celebrations. This work, which is part of the renovation of the Main dike, was initiated by Energienetze Offenbach GmbH (ENO). After the festival, construction work will begin again, with work in the area of ​​Mainuferweg and Schlossstrasse scheduled to be completed within the next five weeks.

Security measures for the festival

The safety of visitors is the top priority. Security forces will monitor compliance with traffic measures and check that residents with special permits adhere to the regulations. These residents are allowed to enter and leave until 10 a.m. on both festival days and from 10 p.m. on Sunday. At the same time, there is an absolute ban on driving on the festival grounds during the event. Rhein Main Verlag emphasizes that residents in closed streets such as Herrnstrasse, Glockengasse, Kirchgasse, Schulstrasse and Ludo-Meyer-Strasse can expect special permits.

Bus route 101 will also be rerouted, which means that the “Schloßstraße” and “Mainstraße” stops will not be served during the festival. It is advisable to find out in advance about the best options for getting there. It is important to direct the flow of visitors while ensuring a high level of security. In NRW describes that large events must be subjected to an intensive risk analysis in order to minimize risks for visitors. A structured process that incorporates proven security concepts helps municipalities coordinate everything necessary.

So the preparations are in full swing! The city of Offenbach shows that it has a good hand when it comes to organizing such events. The Mainuferfest is just around the corner and promises to be a great experience for all visitors. Whether residents or festival goers, everyone should be aware of the changes in traffic flow and safety measures so that the festival can be enjoyed to the fullest. Everyone stay informed and have a good party!

All in all, Offenbach is ready to offer a diverse festival next weekend where both safety and joy are the focus.
