- Complete road closures affect 19 routes, mostly overnight from 10 PM to 6 AM, along with lane shifts and road narrowings.

- The fire broke out on Friday evening during work on the flat roof of the apartment building under construction at 11 Böckinger Straße.
- According to the fire service, about 100 square metres of the roof were initially fully ablaze; three hoses and several breathing-apparatus teams prevented the fire from spreading further.
- The fire was under control by 8:42 p.m., according to the fire service, and the smoke had further decreased by 8:50 p.m.
- A worker on the roof alerted the fire service and suffered minor injuries; the cause initially remained unknown, while roads in the Rotweg area were closed.
