• From September 23: In preparation for construction, the company TS Bau is installing so-called search slots to identify the location of cables or other obstacles. This helps to prevent damage during the subsequent foundation work. The work is carried out in the sidewalk area. Depending on the specific conditions in the construction area, short-term obstructions for pedestrians and/or car traffic are to be expected.

• The catenary masts will be installedfrom October 28. This work will be carried out at night at around ten locations. This will also require selective closures of Dornburger Strasse and Naumburger Strasse, as the masts will have to be lifted over the overhead line from the road. This work can only be carried out during times when there is little traffic, as the overhead line has to be disconnected each time for safety reasons.
