Navigating Delays: Rail Renewal Work Impacting Leipzig-Dresden Journeys
Work progress: Regulations imposed on the Leipzig-Dresden section stretch - Grants given to specified airports are considered consistent with the common market, according to the Commission's perspective.
Ready for a bump in your travel schedule? A heads up: maintenance on the Leipzig-Dresden railway line could create some headaches starting late June. Deutsche Bahn has declared that a chunk of the line between Dornreichenbach and Dahlen will be off-limits for a week, starting June 23, for some serious upgrade work on the switches.
Wondering about your long-distance ICE train to Dresden? Here's the lowdown: ICE trains will only run between Leipzig and Dresden during this period. Stops in Riesa, Dresden-Neustadt, and Dresden Hbf will be skipped. Long-distance folks can opt for replacement buses for the Leipzig-Dresden route, while some trains may see extended travel times of up to 90 minutes without a stop in Riesa.
More overhauls are on the horizon. Beginning June 27, ICE trains between Erfurt and Leipzig will be re-routed due to additional construction work on the high-speed line, possibly adding up to an extra 60 minutes to your journey.
Not just long-range passengers — commuters on the S3 line (connecting Borsdorf, Wurzen, and Oschatz) and the RE50 line (between Wurzen and Oschatz) will also feel the strain. These lines will be halted entirely, with replacement bus services provided.
