During this time, extensive renovation and modernization work will also be carried out at the stations in order to provide passengers and freight operating companies with an improved and accessible infrastructure as quickly as possible. Despite all the challenges, the renovation of the rail network by 2030 is an important contribution to the sustainable improvement of the infrastructure and the best possible preparation for the increasing demands of modern transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The routes for general overhaul are selected in close consultation with the federal government, authorities, rail companies and associations. This cooperative approach makes a decisive contribution to developing a holistic concept and minimizing the impact on passengers and freight traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investments in the general overhaul of these high-performance corridors will not only have a noticeable impact, but will also have a positive effect on the entire rail network. More efficient routes, more punctual trains and increased capacities are important steps toward sustainable and modern mobility, which will further strengthen rail as an environmentally friendly transportation solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general overhaul of the heavily used corridors is a long-term project that is set to cover a total of 40 route sections by 2030. This will pose major challenges not only for DB, but also for the construction and rail industry. Nevertheless, there is no alternative to clearing the renovation backlog in order to sustainably improve the rail infrastructure and prepare it for the increasing demands placed on rail as a mode of transport.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-column  column is-6-small is-6-medium column--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading headline-h3\">The key features at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The renovation of the heavily used network and the associated upgrade to a high-performance network with a length of 9,000 kilometers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The resolution of the investment backlog and the upgrading of the rail network to smaller cities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capacity-increasing measures such as additional crossovers, switches and denser signaling for more stability and better train services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The digitalization of the rail network with the Germany-wide rollout of the European Train Control System (ETCS).

The strain on the Riedbahn as a bottleneck has an impact on the entire rail network and makes urgent renovation unavoidable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The planned maintenance concept for the Riedbahn is the beginning of a comprehensive program.
