Future of the railway in Bregenz: planned improvements for more mobility

In one of the most densely populated regions of Austria, the Rhine Valley and the Greater Bregenz area, the efficiency of the rail system is of great importance. Railway usage is extremely high here, especially among the Vorarlberg: inside, which are among the most hard-working railway users: inside in the country. In order to ensure the mobility of people and goods in an environmentally friendly manner, the ÖBB together with municipalities and the country are working on improving the rail infrastructure.

The exchange between ÖBB CEO Andreas Matthä and Mayor Michael Ritsch revolved around the continuous developments and challenges in the field of public transport. "Good cooperation for customers is becoming increasingly important here," emphasized Matthä.

conversion and extensions at Bregenz Hafen

The ÖBB has developed several options for the conversion of Bregenz Hafen in partnership with the city and country. A new solution ensures that the track extension has no negative effects on the local recreation areas on the pipeline, which is in the special interest of the city of Bregenz. "The pipeline remains unaffected and we can make access to pedestrians: inside and cyclists: significantly improve inside," said Mayor Ritsch. With a new underpass and lift system, the crossing of the tracks becomes safer and time -saving.

Every day, over 4,000 passengers benefit from the Bregenz Hafen stop. In order to illuminate further aspects of future developments in this area, the implementation of an effect analysis was decided. This is intended to examine the need for the port station and the effects on the residents: inside, which shows a clear responsibility towards the population.

Reduction of railway crossings and progress at the train station

The talks on the future of the railway crossings in Bregenz have shown positive progress. The ÖBB have suggested that the railway intersection close the pre-monastery and instead invest in a modern foot and cycle path underpass. "There is a clear signal from the population for these measures," said Mayor Ritsch.

There is also a consensus that the provisional at the Bregenz train station, which is to serve as a temporary solution for the old station building, has to be implemented quickly. The preparatory work for this is already in full swing so that the escalators and lifts are to be put into operation before the festival.

A common goal of ÖBB, the state and the city of Bregenz is to quickly promote the planning for the comprehensive redesign of the train station and its environment. With these steps not only the infrastructure is improved, but also the comfort for passengers is significantly increased.

The developments around the Bregenz train station and the Port stop are part of a comprehensive strategy of sustainable mobility in the region in order to meet the needs of passengers.
