📋 Tender Overview
At the end of June, four -month construction work, rail replacement traffic between St. Polten and Krems or Traismauer begins from June 28 to August 31, 2025.
In order for travelers and goods to be safe, punctual and climate -friendly on the Kremser Bahn and the Tullnerfeld railway, OBB will invest in the modernization of the rail infrastructure in the Herzogenburg area. From the end of June to the end of October 2025, extensive construction work will take place in the Herzogenburg train station, which have an impact on passenger transport and make a replacement for rail traffic necessary.
Large construction site Herzogenburg
In the Herzogenburg train station, 19 switches and around 900 meters of tracks are renewed. In addition, the security system and the Park & Ride system are modernized. The work takes place continuously - during the day and on the night - from June 28 to October 31, 2025.
Remove lock and rail replacement traffic
From June 28 to August 31, 2025, passenger traffic in the Herzogenburg area is closed. The lines are affected:
Rex44/R44 (Kremser Bahn): Krems - Herzogenburg - St. Polten Hbf
S40 (Tullnerfelder Bahn): Traismauer - Herzogenburg - St. Polten Hbf
For these connections, a rail replacement traffic is set up by bus. The buses run at changed times, which means that the travel time can extend. Unfortunately, taking bicycles is not possible in the replacement buses.
Customer information
We ask our passengers to take into account the changed travel conditions for this period and to consider customer trails, information signs and notices on site. Customer information on the driving pans is made by posters at the train stations, announcements on the train or on the Internet at www.oebb.at.
Freight transport and local effects
Freight traffic will be handled through the southern shifting station and the Viehofen train station during the construction period. In the Herzogenburg station area there are changes to the customer trails and temporary roadblocks.
Measures ensure the quality of the rail infrastructure
The measures on the rail infrastructure take place so that the required, secure track position and functionality are given and, subsequently, a safe and punctual train operation is guaranteed. The OBB tries to keep noise and dust developments as low as possible, but request that they cannot be avoided due to the work to be carried out and the machines required.
