Construction work on the Rheingauline: S-Bahn and regional trains affected!

Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis, Deutschland - Today, on June 13, 2025, extensive construction work starts on the Rheingauline of Deutsche Bahn, which will affect many rail customers in regional transport. The work that extends over four weeks lasts until July 14th. During this time, passengers must calculate with considerable restrictions and changes in the timetable, in particular on the S-Bahn lines 8 and 9 to Mainz and the regional railway 58 in the Rhein-Main area. RB 10 in Rheingau will also be affected, which means that numerous commuters and travelers have to adapt to failures and diversions. According to [ffh] (https://www.ffh.de/nachrichten/hessen/wiesbaden/435289-bau-weit- der-Rheingauline-Schraenkungen-and-Rb-58.html), all work are part of a comprehensive general renovation of the railway line along the right Rhine, from Troisdorf via Unkel.

The measures in detail include the preparations for noise barriers, the renewal of a railway bridge and the construction of retaining walls. These important work is intended to improve rail traffic in the long term and reduce the noise that is inevitably accompanied by a busy railway line. During the construction work, the long -distance trains are spared the restrictions because they do not drive across the affected route. Nevertheless, for many local passengers, this means that patience will be in demand, since the usual travel times could change, as https://www.zeit.de/news/2025-06/13/bau-feiten-auf-rheingrheingauline) reports.

If you consider that similar construction work in other cities such as Hamburg recently led to restrictions, one can only hope that the construction work in Hessen will run quickly and smoothly. There, passengers also had to expect detours and rail replacement traffic in a period of time, such as [Hamburg 1 reported. Their adjustments show how important it is to stay flexible and, if necessary, switch to alternative means of transport.

Deutsche Bahn ensures that all measures are well coordinated to ensure that the regular operation is restored quickly. So in the coming weeks it is all the more important that passengers are informed and prepared in their travels.
