VDE 8.1 ABS Nürnberg-Ebensfeld, four-track expansion section Eltersdorf

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The package contracted to LEONHARD WEISS GmbH & Co. KG in the scope of the traffic project Deutsche Einheit Nr. 8 [German unit no. 8] involves several construction divisions, thus giving it the status of a 'yellow construction site'.

The construction project is divided into 3 phases. The goal of the overall project is to reduce travel time by 50% to less than 4 hours on the Berlin-München route.

With the collaboration of various sections, even very elaborate and complex process can be carried out with speed and efficiency. This project is also another example of our motto - experience the joy of construction!
