Major Project Track Refurbishment: How the Planning Works — VAG Freiburg (2026)

The stretch in Landwasser was for the most part last renewed in 1985.
- Role: subject
- In the article: An interview with the VAG planner in charge. The Landwasser project covers about 2 km of track, seven switches, 800 m of overhead line, the stops and charging technology, and is split into three large tenders. The section “has lasted a very long time”, well beyond the usual track life, “but the full refurbishment is urgently needed.”
- Why it matters: Landwasser is the concrete case through which the whole planning process (tenders, closures, coordination) is explained. Any other worn section could have served, but this is the one the article walks through.
