New bridge building in Marburg: Massive restrictions on rail traffic!
New bridge building in Marburg: Massive restrictions on rail traffic!
The city of Marburg faces an important infrastructure project, the concept of which is primarily intended to secure the security and smooth flow of traffic in the region. On March 5, 2025, it became known that the bridge in Marburg-Nord has to be demolished via the railway line and completely rebuilt. This project was necessary because a renovation is economically and technically not sensible. The demolition and new construction work are scheduled for the period from Friday, March 21, 10 p.m. to Monday, March 31st, 4 a.m.
The railway line between Marburg and Cölbe will be closed during the construction work. In order to shorten the duration of the blocking, the work is carried out in multi -shift operation. However, this will also have an impact on rail traffic, especially on long-distance and regional traffic. According to nh24.de there are significant restrictions: long-distance trains on the ICE line from Karlsruhe via Frankfurt to Stralsund are diverted. This means that important holds, including in Frankfurt-West, Friedberg and Marburg.
rail traffic is affected
The RB 30 between Frankfurt and Kassel and the RE30 between Marburg and Kirchhain are particularly affected regional train lines. There are no trains on certain days, and all -day failures between Marburg and Kirchhain force replacement traffic by bus. Travelers should find out more about current connections at www.bahn.de or in the app db navigator, since stops of the replacement buses are not always directly at the train stations.The old bridge in the Neue Kasseler Straße was inaugurated in 1965 and has a length of around 36.5 meters and a clear height above the train of 6.05 meters. Hessen Mobil has been planning the replacement for new construction of this important transport connection since 2023, regardless of damage development. The development should be demolished at the end of March, and the subsequent planning and approval procedures for the new building will take a few years.
The necessary step to modernize bridge
In Germany there are a total of around 40,100 bridges in the federal highway network. According to the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV), around 8,000 motorway bridges must be repaired or modernized in the long term. The BMDV has already taken measures to increase maintenance investments and plans to increase them from 4.6 billion euros to 5.0 billion euros by 2025. A comprehensive program for bridge modernization, which also includes the new building in Marburg, is currently being implemented. The new building replaces the existing building without structural expansion.
In order to counter the challenges in bridge construction, innovative construction methods and strategic planning are necessary. Drees & Sommer emphasizes that reliable maintenance management for bridges is of central importance. This is based on sustainable renovation projects, professional contract management and the development of a well -founded maintenance strategy. The aim is to recognize damage to bridges early and to address the resulting problems.
The new building of the bridge in Marburg is therefore an integral part of the comprehensive modernization strategy for bridges in Germany, which takes into account both security and ecological responsibility.
