- SSB is carrying out track renovations and suspends U6, U13 and U16 services from March 2 to April 12.
- Works include sleeper replacement in the Pragsattel tunnel, renewal of 1,400 meters of track between Pragsattel and Landauer Straße, and new exterior facilities from Feuerbach to Pfostenwäldle.
- Replacement articulated buses will operate from Pragsattel to Löwen-Markt Weilimdorf (U6E) and to the Pfostenwäldle stop in Feuerbach (U13E).
- Service patterns are altered: U6 will run in two segments, U13 will be rerouted via Pragsattel to Mönchfeld, U16 will run only between Fellbach and Wilhelmsplatz to absorb extra passengers during the S‑Bahn closure (Feb 24–Mar 25), U16 is suspended during the Easter break (Mar 30–Apr 10), and three additional morning U1 trips will be added.
