Change at night: Important construction work at Mering train station!

DB InfraGO AG has announced that it will carry out night-time construction work on October 31 and November 1, 2025. These measures are essential to maintain operational safety on the affected sections of the route, especially between Olching train station and the Mering transfer point. The construction work will take place from Friday evening, 9:00 p.m. to Saturday morning, 6:00 a.m. and from Saturday evening, 9:00 p.m. to Sunday morning, 6:00 a.m. mering.de reports that DB InfraGO AG considers this construction work to be necessary to ensure the safety and stability of the infrastructure.

The interactivity of the construction work is supported by the decken.info application, which allows users to access information about current and upcoming construction projects on an interactive, map-based platform.

LiveMaps users can also receive push notifications about current disruptions and construction work. dbinfrago.com highlights that users can view an overview of their affected trains in the event of disruptions or construction work, which makes travel planning much easier.

Long-term infrastructure investments

In the larger context, the federal government is planning extensive investments in transport infrastructure, which are estimated to total 166 billion euros by 2029. The focus is heavily on the renovation of dilapidated railway lines and motorway bridges. Of these funds, around 107 billion euros are to flow into rail, which means an increase of 29 billion euros compared to the previous government's plans, but is 18 billion euros below the declared need. tagesschau.de reports that transport investments are expected to increase by around 60 percent compared to the years 2020 to 2024.

Part of the infrastructure package also includes 52 billion euros for federal roads and 8 billion euros for waterways. Although Deutsche Bahn has welcomed the additional funds, it is calling for stable commitments beyond 2027 to enable long-term planning. The planned general renovation of over 40 heavily used routes is scheduled to be completed by the mid-2030s in order to improve the punctuality and reliability of rail traffic. This year, around 100 train stations are also planned to be modernized into “train stations of the future”, which will include a uniform design and improved information systems.
