Berlin train line upgrade to significantly increase capacity and sustainability of local public transport.
Consultancy firm AFRY has been commissioned to plan the double-track expansion of the Berlin commuter train line S25 between Schönholz and Hennigsdorf. The S25 line is part of the city’s S-Bahn network and serves as a key north-south axis.
The expansion project is part of the i2030 programme, which aims to strengthen public transport in the Berlin-Brandenburg region and enables a continuous ten-minute interval service on this key north-west axis of the Berlin commuter train line.
The expansion of the S25 will significantly enhance mobility in the Berlin metropolitan area and support future-proofing regional transport infrastructure. The 16-kilometre route includes the planning of 24 bridges and the construction and modernisation of six stations. AFRY’s assignment also includes technical building equipment and the processing of surveying data.
The aim of the project is to provide a continuous ten-minute interval service on the specified section, significantly increasing the capacity and attractiveness of local public transport.
“This project represents a significant step toward improving sustainable mobility in the capital region. We are pleased to contribute our expertise to a development that will benefit both commuters and the wider community,” said Michael Backes, head of road and rail Germany at AFRY.
Project planning is scheduled for completion in 2032.
