Cologne – Frankfurt : Track renewal

The Cologne - Rhine/Main high-speed line is being made fit for the future. Over the course of three weeks, 70 kilometres of track and 13 points will be renewed along the route and construction work will be carried out at Frankfurt Airport's long-distance station at the same time. There will be timetable adjustments around Cologne, Siegburg/Bonn, Montabaur, Limburg Süd and Frankfurt Airport.

Note

You can find the adjusted timetable planners in the information and booking systems.

We recommend that you use the digital travel companion in the DB Navigator app with automatic notifications of changes to your booked or bookmarked journey during the construction site period in order to always see the latest timetable planners.
