Riedbahn General Overhaul

Closed

Deutsche Bahn (DB) is making significant progress in the preparations for the comprehensive refurbishment of the Riedbahn, a critical railway corridor connecting Frankfurt/Main and Mannheim. The project involves the collaboration of four experienced companies, namely Leonhard Weiss, Spitzke, Swietelsky Baugesellschaft, and Siemens Mobility, responsible for the control and safety technology. The general overhaul of the Riedbahn involves an array of enhancements along its approximately 70-kilometre route, including the replacement of about 120 kilometres of track, 150 switches, 140 kilometres of overhead lines, and a complete modernization of the control and safety technology. All 20 stations along the route are also set to undergo a facelift. The total cost for all these endeavors is approximately 1.3 billion euros.
