Less money for new train projects

127

The German ministry wants more money for trains. Trains need money for new tracks. Often they only fix old tracks. There is not enough money for new tracks. Experts worry about the train network. Many billions of Euros are missing soon.

Austria also has plans to save money. The government decided a new money plan. Many projects need 2 more years. This affects the track between Vienna and Moedling. The train to Vienna airport takes more time. Projects in the Styria area also take more time.

Some big projects continue. The Brenner tunnel is ready in 2032. The Semmering tunnel comes on time. There is good news in Cologne. A new gate protects a bridge on the A4. This gate stops very heavy trucks. It is ready in July.
