FW2 – fully on track

Construction work on the last major section of the route between Feldkirchen and Weitendorf began in September 2020, and the first trains should then run in 2025. The 13 km long “airport branch” is being built as a new line. It includes structure FW2, an approximately 3.2 km long underground route, which is currently being built using the cut-and-cover method. The construction project also includes tub sections up to 12 m high. The static calculations and implementation plans are created together with the civil engineering office Eisner from Graz. The Lavanttal train station is already under construction, and construction lot 7.3 will start soon at West Styria train station. The structural planning for these two projects also comes from Thomas Lorenz.
