From Friday, July 11, 2025, at 8 p.m. to July 18, 2025, at 1 a.m., extensive construction work will be carried out on the railway line between Aschaffenburg and Frankfurt am Main.

The affected railway lines are the RE54 and RE55, which run every day every hour and connect Frankfurt with Würzburg. Specifically, this means that passengers, who normally easily get from Würzburg to Aschaffenburg for about an hour and five minutes, have to adjust to longer travel times. Even if these routes are served by DB Regio Bayern, it should be noted that the stops of the rail replacement traffic may not always be directly at the train stations, which can mean additional footpaths.

The construction work is part of a comprehensive plan that came into force in May 2025, where there were also impairments in rail traffic between Frankfurt and Bavaria based on similar measures. At that time, the RMV was also informed about adjustments in the timetable. A little ray of hope: Despite the ongoing modernization work between Frankfurt and Mannheim, which were recently stopped, planning for future projects is still in full swing.

It remains to be seen how the travelers will react to these changes, but it is certain that those who are well prepared do good business, even if there are one or the other challenge on the way. It is best to stay flexible and get the latest information directly from the train.
