Schorba/Jena, June 19, 2026 – Due to upcoming asphalt work in the locality of Schorba, passengers of JES Verkehrsgesellschaft must prepare for significant restrictions in the coming days.

- Event: Complete suspension of JES bus services in the locality of Schorba due to road renovation (asphalt work).
- Affected stops: „Schorba“ and „Schorba, Industriepark“.
- Closure periods:
- Friday, June 26, 2026: 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
- Monday, June 29, 2026: all day
- Tuesday, June 30, 2026: all day
- Impact: No service at the stops, no bus offerings within Schorba on the specified days.
Details on the Road Closure and Impacts
The upcoming asphalt work in Schorba will lead to a temporary full closure of the transit route. For the buses of JES Verkehrsgesellschaft, this represents an insurmountable barrier, as no turning options for large vehicles can be established on-site. Consequently, scheduled services must be completely suspended in the locality of Schorba for the duration of the work.
The restrictions affect scheduled services on three days at the end of June. Passengers are asked to adjust to the changed schedules in good time and to use alternative means of transport or nearby stops outside the closed area.
Overview of Affected Stops and Times
To allow commuters and students to plan their journeys, the transport company has announced the specific closure times. The following stops cannot be served on the specified days:
- Schorba (locality)
- Schorba, Industriepark
The closures are distributed across the coming days as follows:
- Friday, June 26, 2026: From 4:00 PM until approximately 8:00 PM in the evening.
- Monday, June 29, 2026: All-day closure from the start of operations until the end of operations.
- Tuesday, June 30, 2026: All-day closure from the start of operations until the end of operations.
Passengers should note that the regular schedule applies outside of these times. Since the construction work is highly weather-dependent, short-term shifts may occur.
🚗 Traffic & Everyday Consequences for the Region
The locality of Schorba is situated near the A4 motorway and serves as an important feeder for commuters from the Saale-Holzland-Kreis towards Jena. The full closure affects not only local bus traffic but also leads to significant diversion traffic for private vehicles. Drivers must expect delays on the alternative routes via the B7 federal road and adjacent country roads. In particular, commuter traffic on Friday afternoon and the following weekdays is likely to be burdened by the increased traffic volume.
