📋 Tender Overview
The route expansion between Vienna and Bratislava is progressing rapidly. In the municipality of Marchegg about one kilometer outside the train station we are renewing the B49 bridge over the railway. A completely new bridge will be built next to the existing bridge the old one will then be removed. This is necessary because as part of the expansion the section will not only be expanded in sections on two tracks but also electrified but the existing bridge is too low for the overhead line. The new bridge will therefore be higher so that the overhead line can be carried out below.During these construction activities the B49 in the bridge area over the railway and the L3003 in the area where it joins the B49 must be closed from Monday March 16 2020 until Friday May 22 2020. For these two months a local diversion will be set up via Lassee and Schnfeld in Marchfeld. Bus routes are partially affected by the diversion.Finishing work is in full swingIn the previous year the overpass of the L5 was built via the Marchegger Ostbahn and opened to traffic. This year the implementation of the measures on the crossings of the L11 and L3019 has already begun - both overpasses are scheduled to open in October 2020 - and work on the Glinzendorf and Untersiebenbrunn stops and along the route is also in full swing. In addition work on the overpass of the Untersiebenbrunn municipal road will start this year. Raasdorf train station is already available to passengers.Route expansion Vienna - Bratislava relevant across the EUThe railway line between Vienna Stadlau and the state border at Marchegg is currently being electrified while the railway is running and is being expanded in sections to include two tracks. After completion of the EU-funded project passengers will benefit from a quick and safe train connection between the two capitals Vienna and Bratislava. Overall the expansion strengthens the trans-European network since the route lies on two European core network corridors the Baltic-Adriatic corridor and the Rhine-Danube corridor. The commuters along the route benefit from the modernization of all train stations and stops. In addition the PR range is being expanded enormously and all railway crossings are being abandoned and replaced by underpasses or overpasses.
