Deutsche Bahn separates S-Bahn junction at Munich Airport

Part of the Erdinger Ringschluss programme, a bridge-like flyover structure is being built west of Munich Airport so S-Bahn lines S1 and S8 can merge without conflicting with each other in future; it is accompanied by a new electronic signal box for the Munich Airport control area and the rebuilding of the Pförreraugraben and Ludwigskanal rail overpasses. The financing and implementation agreement was signed on 28 November 2022, construction began in autumn 2023, and total cost is about EUR 125 million. The signal box entered service in 2024/2025, while the flyover structure is due for completion by 2028.
