Therefore, there may be increased noise and dust nuisance in subsequent periods.

  • from Friday, March 27, to Thursday, May 7, continuous
  • from Thursday, May 7, to Thursday, May 14, during train breaks

Among other things, power generators, two-way excavators, track tamping machines, switch tamping machines, ballast leveling machines, work trains and various small machines are used.

Deutsche Bahn is doing everything it can to minimize the disruption caused by the construction work. Nevertheless, disruptions and changes to the construction process cannot be completely ruled out. The railroad asks for your understanding.

If you have any questions or comments, you can contact Deutsche Bahn by e-mail at Bauprojekte-Netz-Mitte@deutschebahn.com.
