The 340-metre SBB Lehnenviadukt (hillside viaduct) runs along the Limmat river between Killwangen and Spreitenbach, allowing freight trains from Wettingen to reach the Limmattal marshalling yard without crossing the main Bern/Basel–Zurich line. Construction ran from July 2013 to late 2016 and cost about CHF 70 million, financed through the FinöV infrastructure fund. The first trains used the new link with the timetable change on 11 December 2016.
