🚆 Gear Up for Enhanced Freight Traffic: 🚗
Ready your hard hats, folks! In 2026, Deutsche Bahn kicks off construction on a snazzy new freight line between Offenburg and Müllheim, along the Rhine Valley Railway. Suppose you fancy bridges as much as we do. Well, get excited, as several new beauties, including a couple of stunning Feuerbach spans, will pop up around Teningen-Nimburg.
Let's chat about the current Feuerbach underpass below the A5, shall we? It's saying ' hasta la vista, baby' to make way for the new eastward tracks, leaving plenty of room for that highway babe. The contract for this fantastic construction project has been handed over to Implenia, with an approximate 1.5-year timeline.
Working our way through the 11-kilometer stretch between Riegel and March involves upgrading 23 bridges, no small feat! However, fear not - they'll be tackled in phases to keep traffic flowin' smoothly. If you find yourself in Bottingen, the Kreisstraße K5130 will also receive a spiffy renewal.
Why you might ask? Well, Deutsche Bahn's got big plans, mate. The new line is all about alleviating pressure on the Rhine Valley Railway, improving passenger punctuality, and boosting the reliability of freight transport. While additional construction phases are still under the microscope for approval, considering Deutsche Bahn's focus on boosting freight infrastructure in the Rhine Valley, you can bet there's plenty more to come.
Oh, and before you ask, for all the juicy details on which particular bridges are getting a facelift and the stages of the Kreisstraße renewal, you'll want to check out official Deutsche Bahn project announcements or local publications. Our quest for these tidbits ended empty-handed in the search results.
