The Deutsche Bahn is pushing ahead with the project for a long-distance railway tunnel including an underground station in Frankfurt. As Gerd-Dietrich Bolte, the manager responsible for the infrastructure projects in Hesse at Deutsche Bahn subsidiary DB Netz, reported on Monday, the planning work for the project was put out to tender last week, and unlike usual, all three were put out to speed Stages of planning at once: the rough preliminary planning, the detailed draft and approval planning and also the later preparation of the tender for the construction work. The planning work is expected to be awarded in late 2023 or early 2024, with a further eight to ten years for the planning itself.
The underground station will be 450 meters long, it was reported Monday, while the platforms themselves will be 420 meters long. Among other things, they will be accessible from the current side platform, as well as from a new pedestrian tunnel across the tracks, which is being dug between the western end of the station hall and the harbor tunnel. It will also create a new connection between the Gutleutviertel and Güterplatz.
