Weather - Elbe ferries no longer run due to flooding in Dresden
Due to the flooding, all Elbe ferries operated by Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe (DVB) have suspended operations until further notice. The ferries have been moored at their moorings and are being checked regularly, the DVB announced on Wednesday. But with the expected water levels of up to 6.26 meters, the winter floods are still part of the "usual work routine".
When the ferries will be able to operate again will depend on how low the water level falls. The local residents must also be accessible. Late Tuesday evening, an alert level three out of four was declared for the Elbe in Dresden - even before the water level of six meters was reached.

The disruption in transportation due to the flooding has affected all Saxony municipalities, including Dresden, as they rely heavily on the Elbe ferries for intercity travel. Despite the DVB's efforts to inspect the moored ferries, the current weather conditions are challenging, with forecasted water levels of up to 6.26 meters. This calls for increased coordination between municipal authorities and traffic management to ensure alternate routes for residents and visitors.
