Description

The line upgrading Böhlen (a) to Altenburg (e) is part of the overall project ABS Karlsruhe-Stuttgart-Nuremberg-Leipzig/Dresden, which is called "Sachsenmagistrale" in the line sections from Hof via Plauen and the arch triangle Werdau to Leipzig and Dresden.

Due to the increase in line speed from 120 km/h to 160 km/h on line 6362 in the planning section, track renewal with civil engineering and PSS, renewal/adaptation of line equipment and ESTW technology are to be planned and implemented for both line sections. Already renewed facilities (track systems, overhead line, railroad overpass) were to be included in the planning. In civil engineering, 10 bridges were newly planned. The construction measures were planned in several construction stages while maintaining operations.
