Karlsruhe – Freiburg : Four-track line upgrade

The Karlsruhe - Basel expansion and new construction line project will provide two additional tracks so that long-distance, local and freight transport will have more space on the railway in future. Following successful implementation, the following three key objectives can be achieved: More trains, more punctuality and more speed. To this end, the project team is simultaneously building the tracks, points, overhead line and railway overpasses between Rastatt and Baden-Baden in August.
