Train construction site ensures massive restrictions in city traffic!

Train construction site ensures massive restrictions in city traffic!

From April 21, 2025, there will be considerable restrictions on the S51 line between Germersheim and Karlsruhe due to infrastructure work. This construction work was announced by the train until May 9th. The work mainly takes place in the evening and night hours, which results in several track closures on different sections of the route. This has already led to partial failures of the light railway line, the connections between Germersheim, Wörth and Rheinbergstraße.

The responsible bodies recommend that you find out about possible connections before starting your journey. Passengers have the option of viewing current timetables via the website of the Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft (AVG). The use of the remaining light rail trains from Germersheim to Karlsruhe is recommended because they offer shorter travel times. In addition, rail replacement (SEV) with buses between Germersheim and Wörth/Rheinbergstrasse is set up to compensate for the failing S51 connections.

Details on the restrictions

The restrictions are extensive, but positive aspects are also emphasized. The AVG informs that in most nights a lighting rail connection in late traffic from 8.30 p.m. or 9.30 p.m. is offered about every two hours. However, there are different departure times in the section from Wörth towards Karlsruhe/Söllingen. In addition, it is ensured that long transition times are avoided from the replacement bus to the light rail in Wörth.

The night connections on the S51 line should be observed. For example, in the night from April 22nd to April 23rd, some connections are completely canceled. These include:

• S51 Söllingen - Wörth (21.34) - Germersheim (July 22nd - not served)
• S51 Söllingen - Wörth (21.34) - Germersheim (0.04 - not served)
• S51 Germersheim (22.30) - Wörth (23.03) - Söllingen (not served)
• S51 Germersheim (0.26) - Wörth (0.58) - Söllingen (not served)

Further information on the timetables and possible detours are also easily accessible on platforms such as dbinfrago.com , where users can also adapt their experience through interactive cards.

In addition, it is mentioned that there are no restrictions in the nights from 25 to April 26 and May 7th to May 7th. This break is welcomed by the passengers.

This extensive infrastructure work is intended to improve the reliability and efficiency of the light rail connections in the long term, which is to promote the use of public transport. An increase in transparency and information procurement via current construction measures is also promised and estimated by the above -mentioned platforms.
