Construction work at Bochum Central Station: Chaos in rail traffic 2025!
The Bochum main station will be severely restricted in the coming months. From February 28, 2025, construction work will begin on the important route between Essen and Dortmund, which will last until April 25th. After a short interruption, further construction work will come from September 5 to October 31. In these periods, the main train station is hardly approached by long -distance trains during the closure, which entails considerable inconvenience for commuters and travelers. So reports Ruhr24 On these essential changes in rail traffic.
The effects of the construction work are significant. Long -distance trains rarely stop at Bochum Central Station, while regional trains are diverted. These now run from Essen via Herne to Dortmund and take around 20 minutes longer. The ICE lines and several regional trains are particularly affected, including the RB40, RE41, RE1, RE11, RE6, RE16 and RB46. A replacement of rail traffic is planned for the affected train lines, whereby more precise information will follow.
modernization measures and infrastructure improvements
The construction work is part of a more comprehensive expansion of the Rhein-Ruhr-Express (RRX) in North Rhine-Westphalia, which aims to convert public transport and introduce a 15-minute cycle. In a further step, by 2025 million investments are to flow into the general infrastructure of the rail network in order to modernize outdated technology. These measures are necessary to ensure the reliability of the network by 2027, as well as
The diversions and reduced ICE traffic are not the only challenges in front of which travelers are facing. In cities such as Essen, Duisburg and Düsseldorf, passengers have to expect less long -distance trains. However, the S-Bahn line S1 remains active during the construction work, which is an important connection for the detour. In addition, in the NRW Easter holidays and over a period of eight weeks in the summer and two weeks in autumn 2025, complete locks are expected. These are part of a larger renovation measures that extend over several years. The aim is to modernize old signs and renovate train stations in order to ultimately improve functionality and comfort for travelers, such as WDR detailed. The upcoming changes in rail traffic will have clear consequences for commuters and travel in the region. The implementation of this upcoming construction work requires patience from all parties involved and should lead to improved rail traffic in North Rhine-Westphalia in the long term. diversions and additional challenges
