Augsburg builds tram tunnel beneath its main station

The project creates a new underground tram tunnel beneath Augsburg's heritage-listed main station, linking its west and east sides; a barrier-free mezzanine level and a new pedestrian tunnel have already opened. It is carried out by Stadtwerke Augsburg (swa), Deutsche Bahn and the city of Augsburg, with construction and planning costs put at roughly EUR 251 million by the Stadtwerke Augsburg project company (as of 2022). The underground tram stop is expected to enter service between late 2026 and mid-2027, with the full "gap closure" linking tram line 6 to Stadtbergen planned for the end of 2027.
