Oldenburg to Wilhelmshaven Rail Upgrade Line Upgrade

ongoing

A consortium consisting of STRABAG AG, Ed. Züblin AG, and STRABAG Rail GmbH has been hired by Deutsche Bahn AG to upgrade a 5.7 km railway line within the municipal limits of Sande in the district of Friesland, Lower Saxony. The construction measures will improve the Wilhelmshaven container terminal’s link to the national railway network and adapt the railway line to the rising volume of cargo traffic. The new track section will bypass Sande to the east of the municipality and comprises a 4 km long double-track new line as well as the addition of a second track to an existing 1.7 km section. The tracks within the municipality itself will be dismantled. The contract has a value of about €115 million. The construction works are scheduled to last 3.5 years.
