Working enables functioning infrastructure and safe train operation
Even during the locks, rail vehicles can be on the railway line.
(Linz, June 30, 2025) - A lot is happening in summer: Mattigtalbahn, Innkreisbahn, Danube bank, Pyhrn route, Almtalbahn, Muhlkreisbahn and the Salzkammergutstres - maintenance work and construction activities take place. So that passengers continue to come from A to B, a rail replacement traffic is set up in the respective sections of the route. The maintenance measures along all routes enable a functioning infrastructure and thus a safe train operation for travelers. In order to avoid building activities over a longer period of time, measures are bundled along the routes and entire sections of the route are served. Despite construction work, the OBB offer reliable mobility offer and extensive replacement traffic.
Locking of railway crossings
During the locks, there are also work on railway crossings (EK) to increase security. Therefore, some of these are blocked for road traffic. Despite the locks, rail vehicles can be on the railway line. It is therefore particularly important to observe the signs and path lines to railway crossings.
Mattigtalbahn
Rail replacement traffic Neumarkt am Wallersee - Braunau from July 18 to August 31, 2025
The modernization of the Mattigtalbahn continues to pick up speed in the Friedburg - Braunau section. In order to increase security on the route and as an important prerequisite for electrification, 7 railway crossings will be rebuilt or technically secured this year and 13 railway crossings are left. The Teichstatt stop is also modernized and, among other things, receives barrier-free access, a waiting koje, infomonitors, a ticket machine and a contemporary bike & ride system. In order to optimally use the summer lock, the state of Upper Austria is building a cross -country bridge in Mattighofen during this period for the Mattighofen bypass.
