Night work

Information for residents

Construction work is planned in such a way that noise-intensive work is carried out during the day wherever possible. However, night shifts are sometimes unavoidable. This is because certain work (e.g. on the overhead line or on the tracks) can only be carried out when trains are not running.
Residents and travellers will be informed in good time. We send out letters and newsletters to residents, inform the local media and authorities and place adverts.
