Rheintalbahn causes a dispute: Six years closure - this is how the communities react!

In the Ortenau, the planned six -year full closure of the Rheintalbahn ensures great concern. While construction work is already underway in other sections, such as in Rastatt, the actual construction in Ortenau remains planned for 2036. This did not cause anticipation for the responsible authorities and the municipalities, but rather for unrest.

The region expects a significant improvement in passenger and freight transport from 2041 by expanding the Rhine Valley Railway. However, the residents face a long dry spell: the 31 -kilometer route between Hohberg and Kenzingen is completely blocked for a period of six years. This extension of the construction period comes down to great lack of understanding in the Ortenaukreis and the adjacent municipalities.

claims to Deutsche Bahn

In order to optimize the construction period and minimize the negative effects on mobility in the region, those responsible for the district administration and the municipalities have made clear demands on Deutsche Bahn. In an official letter, they emphasize the need for a shortened construction period and the establishment of two interim stations in order not to be completely demolished for the citizens.

This initiative was recently supported by the new statutes of the Technology and Environment Committee, which unanimously agreed. The concerns of the residents about a long construction phase and the resulting traffic steels are more than understandable, especially in view of the potential economic effects and the difficulties for commuters in the region.

In addition, those responsible emphasize the urgency to implement these measures quickly. "The situation requires that we will immediately go to the Deutsche Bahn. href = "https://www.schwarzwaelder-bote.de/inhalt.projekt-koenne-die-lahment-der-ortenaukreis-Pocht-auf-Schnelleren- der Rheintalbahn.4a09adfe-1000-486-ad125c97a817.html?womort=offenburg" target = "_ blank" rel = "nofollow noopener noreferer"> according to information from www.schwarzwaelder-bote.de .

The planned modernization is an important step to improve traffic connections, but the implementation must be addressed with careful not to unnecessarily burden the population. The continuous communication between the Ortenaukreis, the municipalities and the Deutsche Bahn will be of crucial importance in the coming years to cope with the challenges mentioned.
