Future of mobility: four -track expansion between Vienna and Mödling!

Mödling, Österreich - The railway infrastructure in Austria's eastern region faces significant changes! In the focus of the expansion of the Nordbahn planned in 2025, the areas around Mödling and the south route between Vienna Meidling and Mödling are in particular, where the RRP process is already running for the four-track expansion. According to Today this expansion will create the basis for an improved S-Bahn frequency and also enable new fast local transport between Vienna Meidling and Vienna. A ten-minute S-Bahn cycle is even planned between these stations! With up to 400 trains per working day, this section of the route is already one of the most frequented in the ÖBB network.

The modernization also extends to the stops. Pottendorf-Landegg and the Ebenfurth train station are made more attractive, while Himberg train station is also being redesigned. In Neunkirchen, a critical traffic hub is removed when the underpass is completed on Raglitzerstrasse. The ÖBB not only offer a solution for the increasing pendant demand question through the four-track expansion between Vienna Meidling and Mödling, but also create an optimal connection for the new urban areas South of Vienna. New stops such as Vienna Benyastraße and Brunn Europaring, which improve the accessibility of the region, are also planned. The degree of accessibility of all stops between these cities is also increased to ensure access for all users.

innovations for local transport

The four -track expansion will not only increase capacity, but also improve security by placing two strained railway crossings. The implementation of these plans is crucial, since only 20 percent of commuters from the south of Vienna use public transport. With improved connections and new stops, ÖBB strive to increase the proportion of public transport to around 40 percent. These measures are not only important, but also necessary in order to meet the growing need for efficient public transport and to make mobility in the region sustainable.
