Closure of Rangwee in Luxembourg-Howald. Deviations until December 2022.
Disruptions are expected at Rangwee from April 4, 2022, until December. Here is the detail of the diversions and bus changes.
As part of the redevelopment of rue des Scillas and rue du Rangwee in view of the arrival of the tram and to better meet mobility requirements on this difficult section, major works will be undertaken from Monday 4 April 2022 and are likely to cause traffic and public transport disruptions.
Details of changes
Traffic and diversions
Due to the scale of the works (particularly the underground works which extend over the entire roadway), a complete damming of the Rangwee will be necessary between the rue du 9 mai 1944 and the Rangwee tunnel from Monday 4 April until December 2022. The Rangwee Tunnel remains accessible to traffic.
The diversion will pass through the Albert Bousser tunnel and the Thionville road. The situation will improve somewhat with the opening of the new N3/N40 (between the Jean-Pierre Buchler bridge and rue de Neufchâteau), scheduled for the start of the 2022 school year.
Note that the section under construction will not be accessible for pedestrians either.this from Monday April 4 to Sunday April 17, 2022. A detour will pass through the tennis courts (rue des Scillas) and rue Auguste Scholer.

Line 5 (Bertrange, Gemeng – Stade de Luxembourg) is diverted in both directions between Bonnevoie-Léon XIII and Howald-Moureschanz via rue de Hesperange and the Albert Bousser tunnel. The following stops are removed in both directions of traffic: Willibrord, Bonnevoie LTB, Neufchâteau and Rangwee. Between Bonnevoie/Howald and the commercial area of Howald, or even the Cloche d’Or, users can alternatively use line 5 at the Léon XIII or Dernier Sol stops, otherwise line 29 from Bonnevoie to the central station and change there to lines 20 (platform 1) or 28 (platform 2).
- The line 20 (Hollerich-Bouillon – Cloche d’Or-Guillaume Kroll) is diverted in both directions between Gare-Rocade and Gasperich-Leonardo Da Vinci and serves the commercial area of Howald and boulevard Raiffeisen, replacing line 29 canceled on this route .
