📋 Tender Overview
A small milestone was achieved at Ternitz station in the course of the station renovation. A truck crane lifted the 25-tonne and around 20-meter-long steel structure of the railway bridge over the Sierning. It is a steel structure that widens the existing bridge so that a new switch can be placed on it. In addition the structure offers enough space for cables and a new noise barrier. Lifting a bridge into the ground is precision work and as in this case usually takes place at night in order to impair rail traffic as little as possible due to the lower volume of trains.Modernization of Ternitz stationWork on modernizing the Ternitz train station has been ongoing since April 2020. This will be made barrier-free by April 2022. Two new platforms are being built with modern customer information systems such as monitors loudspeakers train destination displays or video systems. The heart of the measures is the barrier-free design with lifts and a guidance system for the blind. New waiting booths complete the offer. An expansion of the Park Ride facility and the construction of e-charging stations are in planning. Around 46 million euros are being invested.Working on scheduleThe concrete structure has already been completed for the new pedestrian passage from which you can access the platforms. The platform edges are already visible on the new island platform - the one that is being built in addition to the old existing one. The substructure for the new track system is also ready. The commissioning of the new electronic interlocking to control the train traffic is currently being prepared which will then take place in mid-November.Modern customer-friendly and barrier-freeThe modernization in Ternitz is an important step towards increasing quality and comfort. In the coming months the station will not only have a modern appearance the renovation will also enable barrier-free use for people with restricted mobility wheelchair users or people with prams or heavy luggage. This should make it easier to switch to public transport and make traveling by train even more attractive.Project descriptionConstruction of two new island platforms including all platform equipment seating signage etc. and glass waiting boothsConstruction of four elevators and adaptation of the staircases and exits in the existing pedestrian tunnelConstruction of a spacious forecourt with roofing in a friendly light designcontinuous equipment of the entire station area with tactile guidance system guidance system for the blindRenewal of all customer information systems such as monitors loudspeakers train destination displays video systemsConstruction time from mid-April 2020 to April 2022Track area and overhead line extensive adaptationsIn addition to the measures to make the passenger area more attractive massive interventions are also planned in the track area and the overhead line system. The track geometry and catenary system masts and contact line will be adapted so that a maximum speed of 160 km h instead of the previous 140 km h will be possible on the rails. Last but not least this serves to enable the new shorter travel times to travel south after completion of the Semmering Base Tunnel.restrictionsThe work takes place while the railway is in operation. In order to carry out the extensive construction work temporary restrictions in local public transport between Neunkirchen and Payerbach-Reichenau are necessary. Individual trains will mainly be canceled during the night. In some cases slight increases in travel times can be expected. We ask passengers to observe the notices at the train station announcements in trains and on platforms and information on monitors.
