Why the subway strike in Frankfurt on Sunday, paralyzes traffic!
On Sunday, December 8th, Frankfurt is experiencing a massive upheaval in public transport. A central subway connection connected to the "Hügelstraße" and "Heddernheimer Landstraße" is completely blocked due to work on driving electricity reinforcement. The interruption lasts from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., which leads to far -reaching timetable changes. All subway lines between "Südbahnhof" and "Hügelstraße" are affected, which are now replaced by buses. The lines U1 and U2 are also affected, while the U9 extends over an alternative path, as the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) reports ( FR.DE ).
important construction work soon completed
In parallel to these interruptions, Deutsche Bahn celebrates the return of the trains on the Riedbahn between Frankfurt and Mannheim. After five months closure and extensive construction work, the trains return on Sunday and the train is optimistic. A total of 1.3 billion euros were invested in this comprehensive renovation, including the renewal of 111 kilometers of tracks and 152 soft. The blocking of this important route was a novelty, since the train had never completely closed such a central connection for so long. Long-distance traffic should flow again from Sunday without restrictions, but there will continue to be replacement buses for regional trains and some S-Bahn lines that will only be included in January until December 24th, so n-tv.de .The continuation of the work on the Riedbahn is a big step for Deutsche Bahn to improve punctuality and modernize the infrastructure. The railway has promised that there are no longer any major construction site activities for at least five years. The successful return of the trains could also have model functions for future projects, in which other busy routes are to be renovated in a similar way. The coming months will be crucial to observe whether these extensive investments actually lead to a noticeable improvement in the timetables.
