Railroad - Göttingen-Kassel ICE line closed for three months

Long-distance trains between Göttingen and Kassel will have to take a detour for three months from December 10. This will increase the journey time between the two cities by up to 30 minutes with the timetable change, according to a railroad spokeswoman. The reason for the detour is construction work in the five-kilometer-long Rauhebergtunnel.

At an estimated cost of 72 million euros, work will include removing and later reinstalling 350 meters of track and replacing ballast to renew the tunnel floor. Water had penetrated the structure in recent years. Long-distance traffic should be able to roll along the route again at the end of February 2024.
