Deutsche Bahn rebuilds southern section of Magdeburg rail junction

As part of the second expansion stage of the Magdeburg railway junction, the southern section ("Spurplan Süd") between the Magdeburg-Hasselbachplatz stop and the Erich-Weinert-Straße rail overpass is being reorganized: tracks, switches, overhead lines and signalling technology are being renewed, alongside new rail overpasses at Hallische Straße and Carl-Miller-Straße and barrier-free upgrades to the Hasselbachplatz stop. Main construction began in June 2024 and, according to Deutsche Bahn, is expected to be completed by the end of 2027; no specific investment figure is disclosed on the project site.
