The project assists in Berlin’s shift towards cleaner urban transport in the “i2030 – More Rail for Berlin and Brandenburg” program. State of Berlin is financing the planning phase, highlighting high-level public support for sustainable mobility.
Engineers will refurbish heritage bridges, build new bridges, and implement digital signaling and barrier-free station access. As part of the core of the design being energy efficiency, new rectifier substations will reduce emissions and running expenses.
When the Siemensbahn reopens, it will once again link Siemensstadt Square and the Ringbahn with trains, opening up more travel choices for passengers and regional growth. So it is not only revival, but it is a long term transport future investment in Berlin.
