The Aargau solar installer Go Smart Solution AG has gone bankrupt: its general meeting decided on 6 October 2026 to cease trading, and about 40 employees lose their jobs. The company cites margin pressure, higher procurement costs and sharply lower demand; the search for investors failed. According to former employees, staff learned of the closure only on the day bankruptcy was opened (cash.ch, Blick, 31 Oct 2026). — Source: https://www.cash.ch/news/top-news/aargauer-solarfirma-pleite-40-angestellte-stehen-auf-der-strasse-980450

Aluminium Rheinfelden Alloys and Aluminium Rheinfelden Semis, owned by Russian group UC Rusal, filed for insolvency under self-administration on 16 July 2026 (widely reported from 21 July); operations are to be wound down, affecting around 185 of the group's roughly 235 employees. Semis made aluminium slugs for spray cans, tubes and pharmaceutical packaging, Alloys customer-specific alloys for mechanical engineering and the automotive industry; high energy costs and international competition are cited as reasons. The third division, Rheinfelden Carbon Products (about 50 employees), is unaffected and is to become the group's future core; talks with the works council on socially acceptable solutions are to follow.

Ikea Switzerland is considering cutting up to 60 jobs at its corporate headquarters in Spreitenbach to increase efficiency. A consultation process with affected employees has begun. Reason: they want to offer affordable prices, must reduce complexity, control costs, and focus on priorities. If confirmed, Ikea will offer financial support and career reorientation. — Source: https://www.nau.ch/news/wirtschaft/ikea-schweiz-konnte-am-hauptsitz-bis-zu-60-stellen-abbauen-67088041

PH FHNW must save CHF 5 mn per year (a structural deficit of CHF 4 mn + a further CHF 1 mn). 30-40 jobs are affected, although this does not mean 30-40 dismissals. The 'Perspektive:PH' reorganisation project involves realigning 38 professorships into 23 interdisciplinary areas without a research mandate; research will be bundled in the 'Institute for Research & Development'. Savings through structural adjustment, natural attrition and internal solutions; dismissals are a 'last resort'. Implementation: feedback by 27 February, decision in March/April, a new start at the end of August, technical implementation on 1 March 2027. — Source: https://www.aargauerzeitung.ch/aargau/kanton-aargau/ph-fhnw-stellenabbau-und-sparmassnahmen-angekuendigt-ld.4107924

The roughly 1 km new connecting line (the "Mägenwil loop") links the Heitersberg line (Aarau–Killwangen-Spreitenbach) with the Southern line (Brugg–Othmarsingen) between Mägenwil and Birr in canton Aargau. It lets Basel–Zürich freight trains bypass the congested Heitersberg bottleneck, freeing up capacity for a continuous half-hourly S11 service between Aarau and Zürich. The roughly CHF 135 million project, funded through the federal rail infrastructure fund, has been operational since the December 10, 2023 timetable change. — Source: https://www.lok-report.de/news/europa/schweiz/46597-schweiz-schlaufe-maegenwil-eroeffnet.html

The Wöschnau single-track tunnel is a 1,160-metre structure (a 170 m ramp, a 490 m covered section, and a 500 m ramp) that, as part of the Eppenberg tunnel project, carries the existing southern main track of the Aarau–Olten line underneath the two new tracks of the Eppenberg new-build line. The overarching project (the 3,114 m Eppenberg Tunnel) increases capacity on the Schönenwerd–Däniken section as part of the four-track expansion between Aarau and Olten. Full commissioning of both structures took place on schedule with the timetable change on 13 December 2020 (test runs had already begun on 12 October 2020). — Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eppenbergtunnel

The new 2,693-metre double-track tunnel between Effingen and Schinznach-Dorf (Canton of Aargau) replaces the original 1875 Bözberg tunnel and, as the largest single project of the 4-metre corridor, is key to carrying four-metre-high semi-trailers by rail on the Gotthard north-south axis. Construction began on 9 March 2016, the last track threshold was laid on 6 February 2020, and the tunnel entered service with the timetable change on 13 December 2020. Investment was around CHF 350 million; the old tunnel now serves as a service and rescue gallery. — Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6zbergstrecke

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. — Source: https://www.srf.ch/news/regional/aargau-solothurn/lehnenviadukt-ist-offen-fuer-den-bahnverkehr
