Würzburg central station completes accessibility upgrade

Würzburg's main railway station was modernized as part of an accessibility upgrade costing roughly EUR 32 million, funded by the federal government, the State of Bavaria and Deutsche Bahn. Platforms 1-4 became barrier-free in time for the 2018 State Garden Show, with platforms 5 and 6 following in 2021; all platforms received new elevators, flooring, roofs and modern lighting/speaker systems via a new platform underpass. The project's overall official completion was reported for September 17, 2022, after which the old platform underpass was demolished.
