U5 expansion in Hamburg: Great progress and new stops 2024

Von WOM

Bramfeld, Deutschland - The Viennese U2 subway line has put its entire route back into operation and thus sets an important sign for the city. Originally, this company was to be resumed over a year ago, but technical problems led to significant delays. The U2 will drive until at least 2030 to Karlsplatz before it will in future be branched off on the newly built route towards Matzleinsdorfer Platz, such as kleinezeitung.at reported.

In 2024, there are also great progress in the construction of the new U5 line in Hamburg. Here the planning and construction work run according to schedule. The construction extends over the section from Bramfeld to City Nord, where the City Nord and Sengelmannstraße stops are already in progress. Dr. Petra Welge, Commercial Managing Director of Hochbahn U5 Projekt GmbH, emphasizes that an important milestone was achieved with the federal funding commitment to the first construction phase. In addition, the new Bramfeld and Barmbek Nord stops are to be implemented soon, so .

progress in construction and planning

The preparations in the city center and at the corresponding stops are already well advanced. A new U5 stop is being built in particular around the City Nord, which requires a 20 meter deep construction pit. At the same time, Sengelmannstrasse is being redesigned to ensure an optimal connection between the lines U1 and U5. The first progress could already be visible here by the end of the year, while in 2025 further stops are connected to the existing lines, according to those responsible.

The U5 will have a route length of about 25 kilometers and is therefore an important project for the city, which for the first time connects numerous districts to the express rail network. The planning for the further course of the route is already underway, while a climate-friendly construction offers an additional incentive to further develop the subway.
