Wuppertaler Stadtwerke (WSW) has undertaken various infrastructure modernization efforts in Wuppertal. Initially, the utility completed the replacement of shut-off valves on a drinking water transport pipeline at Bendahler Straße and Oberbergische Straße. These new devices include a bypass mechanism to allow for faster pressure equalization and more secure water supply management.

Following this, a larger three-year modernization project is scheduled to begin on Nützenberger Straße on October 26, 2026. This initiative involves upgrading gas, water, and electricity lines, alongside the reconstruction of roadways and sidewalks. The project will necessitate temporary traffic diversions and the rerouting of bus line 619 for approximately three months, with a ‘TaxiBus’ service offered to maintain connectivity for affected passengers.
