On Monday, January 12, 2026, the Department of Construction and Transport, BVB (Basel Transport Authority), and IWB (Basel Water and Energy Authority) will begin the renovation of Missionsstrasse. As a result, until the end of September 2026, tram line 3 will be rerouted in stages from Aeschenplatz via Spalenring to Burgfelderplatz. Replacement bus service EV 3 will serve the neighborhood. Missionsstrasse will also be closed to vehicular traffic in the direction of Spalentor. The renovation work will improve traffic flow, increase road safety, and create more green space in the city.
