Hoyerswerda train station: Refurbishment is delayed by one year!

Hoyerswerda, Deutschland - In Hoyerswerda, the renovation work at the train station is still the focus of the public. But the actual progress is a long time coming. Deutsche Bahn has now announced that the completion of the renovation work will be delayed by a whole year. As diesachsen.de , the modernizations made are more complex than originally planned.

The city of Hoyerswerda had hoped to complete the renovation work by summer 2026. Now, however, the use of all platforms will not be possible until the summer of 2027. The reason for this lies in the surprisingly complex modernization of the platform, which not only includes the renewal of the platform edges, but also the complete foundations. This work has turned out to be significantly more time -consuming.

The challenge of modernization

In addition, difficult soil conditions come into play that delay the work on the new underpass. This new passenger underpass should enable direct access from the station forecourt to the platforms. In addition, the installation of three elevators is planned to significantly improve the accessibility for persons restricted mobility, travelers with heavy luggage, bicycles and parents with strollers.

like Deutschebahn.com The investment is estimated for the entire work on a proud. This sum is applied by Deutsche Bahn, the Free State of Saxony and the Oberelbe Verkehrsverbund (VVO). The construction work began at the beginning of November of last year and are divided into several sections.

At the moment, the platform 1/2 is closed until the end of March 2026, whereupon all trains from platform 3/4 descend. As soon as the work on platform 3/4 and the second section of the new underpass begins in April 2026, train traffic is handled over the modernized platform 1/2.

Another aspect that contributes to the delay is the condition of the support feet of the platform roof. These are more corroded than initially assumed and must also be completely processed. The conversion is also intended to modernize the platform roofs and equip them with modern LED lighting, new seating, waste containers and timetable showcases in order to increase the comfort for users.

summarized, the ambitions for a modern and barrier -free train station in Hoyerswerda are slowed down by unexpected challenges. Only with the final completion of the work in the summer of 2027 will the train station shine again in full splendor and serve the travelers as a user -friendly junction.
