Modernization
The Tauern Railway tunnel will be closed from November
Austrian Federal Railways is starting an extensive modernization of the Tauern line, whereby the 8.3-kilometre Tauern Railway Tunnel will be completely closed from November 2024 to July 2025. During this time, freight traffic will be rerouted and replacement bus services will be set up for passenger traffic.
The initial work, such as the renovation of two viaducts, has already begun. The construction sites along the line and in the tunnel will be set up from August. Within three years, a modernized railroad infrastructure in the Gastein Valley should significantly improve the quality of travel.
The Gastein Valley will remain accessible by train from the north until March 2025, while an hourly rail replacement service with buses between Bischofshofen and Spittal an der Drau will be set up from the south as soon as the tunnel is closed on November 18, 2024. There will also be special bus connections for commuters between Bad Gastein and Mallnitz.
A second construction phase is planned from 2027, which will require a further five-month closure.
