Cologne-Wuppertal line: Two additional months of disruptions for bridge renovation
The Cologne-Wuppertal railway line in Germany is facing approximately two additional months of disruptions following a complete five-month renovation phase. The cause: renovation of a nearly 80-year-old bridge spanning the Wupper River. Until the end of September 2026, all long-distance and regional trains must share a single track at this location. Deutsche Bahn has stated it aims to minimize train cancellations during this period.
