Major Roadworks Close Rue de la Déportation This Weekend

The City of Luxembourg has announced that important roadworks will take place on Rue de la Déportation in the Gasperich district from Friday evening, 16 January to early Monday, 19 January 2026. This work, aimed at upgrading infrastructure along this busy street, will require the road to be completely closed to all traffic between Route d’Esch and Rue de la Fonderie during the closure period.

The closure will begin at 19:00 on Friday and continue until 05:00 on Monday, with the city’s Traffic Department ensuring that proper signage and detour routes are in place to guide drivers around the affected area. Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes in advance to avoid congestion.

Public transport will also be affected: Bus line 18 will be diverted via Rue de Hollerich during the works. Key stops — “Alsace,” “Lascombes” and “Hollerich-Gare” — will be temporarily suspended in the direction of Kockelscheuer. These will be replaced by the “Fonderie” and “Aciérie” stops at Quais 1 and 2, plus a temporary stop on Route d’Esch near numbers 178–188.

The city has stressed that road users should follow the temporary signage closely and allow extra travel time. Residents and commuters alike are encouraged to check local traffic updates before travelling to stay informed about changes during the weekend.

The works are part of Luxembourg City’s ongoing efforts to maintain and improve urban infrastructure and public services, ensuring safer and more efficient transport routes for all users.
