Bahn chaos in Magdeburg: Massive diversions expected by 2027!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - In Magdeburg, rail traffic will be affected from Monday, July 3. The reason for this is construction work for modernizing the overhead lines on the Magdeburg railway node, which should last until the end of 2027. These measures concern both local and long-distance transport. Travelers must therefore adapt to some changes that are necessary according to mdr to bring the infrastructure in front.

The work is carried out between June 30th and July 5th and take place south of the main station. Mastes for the overhead lines are set up and chain plants are repaired. This work is done daily between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and pursue the goal of sustainably improving the performance of the rail lines, explains impairments in local transport

If you drive by local transport from and to Magdeburg, you have to prepare in particular on line S1. This is replaced by buses between Schönebeck and Wittenberge, which run from the central bus station (ZOB). In addition, the RE 30 between Halle and Magdeburg is redirected to an alternative route, which means that the stop in Magdeburg-Buckau is no longer necessary. In addition, there are a few holds on the RE 20 between Schönebeck and Uelzen.

changes in long -distance transport

Long -distance transport is not spared from the construction work. There are significant changes in several intercity connections:

  • ** IC line 55: ** Keep in Köthen, Halle (Saale) Central Station and Leipzig/Halle Airport. Instead, there are additional holding in Bitterfeld and Dessau.
  • ** IC line 56: ** The travel time is extended by about 25 minutes. That stops in Köthen, but stops in Dessau and at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
  • ** IC line 57: ** from July 3rd to 5th also extended travel time by 25 minutes, with similar holding changes as in line 56.
The controllers explain that these diversions and halves are carried out to ensure the smooth implementation of the work. The long -distance traffic between Magdeburg and Leipzig is led via a detour route, which can also lead to defaults.

The extensive construction work is part of a larger renovation program, which, according to Bahndampf , should also improve the general quality and reliability of rail traffic throughout the country. By 2027, far -reaching renovations and redesigns in the rail network are planned, which many travelers could experience positively in the future.

In order not to lose track of all the changes, travelers are asked to find out more about digital travel information media before starting travel. So you can find the best alternatives and prepare for your travels.
