Long-distance trains will continue to operate between Hamburg and Berlin. As with previous construction projects, direct trains will be rerouted via Uelzen and Stendal. Travel time between Hamburg and Berlin will increase by 45 minutes. Trains will stop in Salzwedel and Stendal, with alternating hourly stops in L\u00fcneburg or Uelzen. At the start of the general overhaul, direct replacement buses (IC buses) will run between Wittenberge or Ludwigslust and Hamburg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To replace regional train services that cannot operate during the construction period, more than 170 buses will be deployed along the entire Hamburg \u2013 Berlin corridor during peak times. These buses will run on a total of 27 routes and cover up to 86,000 kilometers daily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-column  column is-6-small is-3-medium column--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-text  wp-block-dbec-core-layout-text--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column layout-column--text\">\n<p>Our specialists are involved in the <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/productportfolio\/design\/\">design<\/a> work for track infrastructure, overhead lines, electrical power systems, structural engineering, as well as control and safety technology.

Some stations will be completely transformed into so-called &#8220;stations of the future,&#8221; setting new standards for passenger comfort and service.

Between August 16 and December 14, 2024, for example, 100 switches, three culverts, and a total of 74 kilometers of track were renewed. A portion of the so-called slab track was also replaced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of these efforts, DB E&amp;C played a key role in the project, providing support through design services as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/productportfolio\/environmental-and-geo-services\/\">environmental and geoservices.<\/a> Specifically, this included surveys using multicopter drone flights or the <a href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/insights\/multisensor-platform\/\">360\u00b0 multisensor platform<\/a> to document sections of the route and transport stations and ensure seamless design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, work is focused on developing the detailed construction designs for sections in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg. Since various protected resources and conservation areas lie along the route, DB E&amp;C&#8217;s design team is working closely with specialized environmental planners to assess the environmental impact of all technical measures and ensure full compliance with environmental regulations and legal requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-grid  layout-grid layout-grid--outer-margin-large layout-grid--expanded\"><div class=\"grid grid--child-margin-small\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-column  column is-6-small is-6-medium column--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-linked-items  wp-block-dbec-core-layout-linked-items--expanded\"><section class=\"layout-linked-items\"><div class=\"layout-linked-items__header\"><div class=\"grid\"><div class=\"column is-6-small is-3-medium\"><h2 class=\"layout-linked-items__headline\">Updates<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"column is-6-small is-3-medium\"><div class=\"layout-linked-items__wrapper-link layout-linked-items__wrapper-link--top\"><a class=\"layout-linked-items__link\" href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/news\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Back to overview page<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"layout-linked-items__inner\"><div class=\"related-posts\"><div class=\"related-posts__post\"><a class=\"base-card\" href=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/en\/updates\/10-years-of-db-ec\/\"><figure class=\"base-card__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Foto-10-Jahre-fuer-Druck-1-1-768x512.jpeg\" class=\"base-card__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"10 years of DB E&amp;C\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1330px) calc(((1200px - 35px * 5) * (2 \/ 6)) + (35px * (2 - 1))), (min-width: 1024px) calc((((100vw - 130px) - 35px * 5) * (2 \/ 6)) + (35px * (2 - 1))), (min-width: 768px) calc((((100vw - 130px) - 35px * 5) * (3 \/ 6)) + (35px * (3 - 1))), calc(100vw - 60px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Foto-10-Jahre-fuer-Druck-1-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Foto-10-Jahre-fuer-Druck-1-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Foto-10-Jahre-fuer-Druck-1-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Foto-10-Jahre-fuer-Druck-1-1-520x347.jpeg 520w, https:\/\/db-engineering-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Foto-10-Jahre-fuer-Druck-1-1.jpeg 1280w\" \/><\/figure><h3 class=\"base-card__title\">10 years of DB Engineering &amp; Consulting<\/h3><div class=\"base-card__date\">04-02-2026<\/div><div class=\"base-card__copy\">From the first sketch to commissioning: DB E&#038;C has been combining expertise and passion for mobility for a decade &#8211; not just in Germany, but worldwide.
