Deutsche Bahn modernises the Zwickau railway junction

The Zwickau railway junction on the Saxon-Franconian trunk line (Dresden–Werdau section) is being fundamentally modernised over roughly five kilometres: renewal of eight platforms and five railway overpasses, construction of two new tunnels, and a new electronic signalling system, plus modernisation of the Pölbitz and Oberrothenbach stops. The planning approval process has been underway since 24 March 2025; the project list targets completion by 2028. The official project page does not state a specific investment figure.
