The approximately 200-kilometer Karlsruhe-Basel upgraded and new line plays a crucial role in both regional and international rail traffic. Construction work was completed on schedule, allowing train services to resume on the Rhine Valley Railway. The section between Rastatt and Baden-Baden was successfully completed, significantly advancing the Karlsruhe-Basel railway project and laying the groundwork for the future opening of the Rastatt tunnel. Following this intensive construction phase, DB will continue work on the section of track between the new tunnel and the connection to the Rhine Valley Railway until 2025. The tunnel is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2026, with no further closures anticipated.
In total, 427 freight trains, equivalent to 16,000 truckloads, were successfully rerouted via the Wรถrth (Rhine)โLauterbourgโStrasbourgโKehl route to rejoin the Rhine Valley Railway in Offenburg. As a potential example for the future, the project is now being evaluated by the participating RUs and IMs to gain insights for possible future cross-border re-routings.
We extend our gratitude to the Rail Freight Corridor Rhine-Alpine EWIV Rail Advisory Group, DB InfraGO, SNCF Rรฉseau, SBB Cargo International, and Captrain France for their successful execution of this project.
