Status: in planning
Time schedule: The preliminary planning was completed in April 2020. The project is currently in the design planning phase. This will be followed by approval planning from 2022. Authorities and citizens are involved in this within the framework of legally prescribed procedures. The first construction stage is expected to be implemented between January 2025 and December 2027.
The Flieden – Burgsinn section will be converted to electronic interlocking technology. In order to keep the effects on railway operations and local residents as low as possible, the work will be bundled into two construction stages. The first construction phase is expected to take place from January 2025 to May 2027. The project is currently in the design phase.
In construction phase 1, the following work will take place simultaneously during a total closure of the route for about a year:
Renewal of the "Ebertsberg", "Brandenstein", "Ruppertsberg" tunnels
Renovation of eight bridges
Renewal of superstructure and drainage systems
Renewal of telecommunications and electrical engineering
Renewal of the overhead line
Expansion and new construction of electronic interlockings (ESTW) in Flieden, Elm, Sterbfritz and Jossa
Renewal of the platforms and platform entrances in the Sterbfritz and Jossa stations
The renewal of 65 individual objects in construction phase 1 will ensure the availability of the route and increase comfort for passengers in the passenger stations.
In addition to the renewal of the "Ziegenberg" and "Rieneck" tunnels, further construction work on bridges, retaining walls and technical systems is planned for construction phase 2.
