ÖBB informs:

Arlberg railway line will be closed at the weekend

Because it is necessary to carry out maintenance work, train services will be suspended: A rail replacement service will be set up. 

Due to maintenance work, the Arlberg railway line between Bludenz in Vorarlberg and Ötztal in Tyrol will be closed next weekend (April 6 and 7). According to ÖBB, more than 50 "individual measures" will be carried out, including tunnel maintenance, repairs to railroad equipment and the inspection of bridges. A rail replacement service with buses will be set up.

The closure begins on Saturday at 8.30 am and ends on Sunday at 4.25 pm. Long-distance rail replacement buses will run between Ötztal and Bludenz and between Ötztal-Bludenz-Feldkirch-Sargans. ÖBB informed that some connections may be canceled. Travelers were advised to familiarize themselves with the situation in good time. Affected night trains will be widely rerouted via Germany.

In local transport, rail replacement buses will be used between Ötztal and Landeck-Zams. Travel times are expected to be extended by up to 20 minutes.
