The city administration is keeping an eye on the situation. Areas at risk are regularly checked by the city's public order service in order to be able to react quickly if necessary. The Rathenauufer between Erste and Zweite Fährgasse has been closed to traffic on Thursday, December 14, and the owners of trailers, scooters and bicycles still parked there were informed to remove them. In order to prevent the Rhine water from entering the sewer system, the sewer company of the civil engineering office has closed various valves in the sewer network.
What happens at which water level?
From a Bonn water level of seven meters, the dam gates between Wolfsgasse and Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Straße in Beuel will be closed, and on the left bank of the Rhine the access roads to the Rhine bank in the area between Schaumburg-Lippe-Straße (Südstadt) and Legionsweg (Castell), as the water then floods the riverside promenades on both sides of the Rhine. The bus stops "Bad Godesberg Fähre" and "Bad Godesberg Rheinufer" will no longer be served.
