Bahn chaos in the Rhine-Main area: Derirance and failures until July!

Rüsselsheim, Deutschland - commuter and leisure drivers be careful: there are considerable diversions in the Rhine-Main area by the beginning of July and replacement traffic on several railway lines. Above all, lines S8, S9 and the regional railway line RB 58 are affected, such as fr.de . These restrictions are part of an extensive renewal and modernization of the rail infrastructure that has been running since the end of April.

It becomes particularly complicated for the S9 trains, which will not offer any trips by July 4 between Kelsterbach and Wiesbaden Central Station, both during the night (daily from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.) and all day on weekends. In addition, the regional railway line RB 58 from Friday, June 20, 9 p.m. to Monday, June 23, 5 a.m. without stopping between Hanau and Frankfurt Süd. Timetable deviations and failures on RB 58 between Laufach and Rüsselsheim Opelwerk can also be expected in the night of June 24th to 28th.

extensive construction work in Offenbach

The latest restrictions are not only due to general maintenance work, but also to intensive construction work in the S-Bahn tunnel of Offenbach, which will last until July 4. These measures include the renewal of around 15 kilometers rails and the exchange of five kilometers rails and five course in Offenbach Ost station. The total cost of these construction measures amounts to an impressive 180 million euros, with 150 million euros being invested in the new fire protection alone. fnp.de has published the details of this construction work.

In addition, there will be complete closures on further weekends in the transition period from May 9th to 26th and on long weekends until the end of June. Replacement buses are to be used during the tunnel closures to relieve the commuters: These buses will be committed from Offenbach Ost to the Frankfurt Konstablerwache and from Offenbach Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt Airport.

Information for travelers

Deutsche Bahn recommends travelers to regularly inform themselves about the digital timetable information of the Rhein-Main Transport Association in order to stay up to date. For certain trips to the S8, there will be a pre -laying by 15 minutes on June 25th. In addition, from July 2, holding at important stations such as the Gateway Gardens and the regional train station airport are affected, which will extend the travel time for many passengers.

The previous construction work between Mainz-Bischofsheim and Rüsselsheim Opelwerk had already caused train losses in May. The current restrictions are therefore to be understood as part of a comprehensive renovation concept that is intended to secure the safety and future performance of the railway lines.
