Construction work will disrupt rail traffic between Freiburg and Basel until the evening!

Deutsche Bahn informs that rail traffic between Freiburg and Basel will be affected until the evening of August 17, 2025. The reason for this inconvenience is construction work that begins that day and affects long-distance traffic. Many travelers therefore have to adapt to changes in their travel plans.

Several important long-distance connections are visibly affected. Among other things, there are restrictions on ICE trains that travel from various cities such as Hamburg, Stralsund and Berlin to Basel and Interlaken Ost as well as Zurich and Chur. Other trains, including IC and EC, which travel from Saarbrücken and Milan to Switzerland and Frankfurt am Main, are also affected. However, Deutsche Bahn has already provided alternatives so that passengers from Offenburg can use the RE 2 regional line to Singen (Hohentwiel). However, seating capacity on these trains is limited, which requires additional caution when planning the trip.

Rebooking options and ticket information

There is some handy ticket information for travelers traveling on August 17th. Passengers who have already purchased tickets for that day can rebook their tickets for a later date free of charge. There are also no train connections, which means that travelers have a little more flexibility. In addition, seat reservations can be canceled at no additional cost, which gives travelers additional planning security.

If you would like to find out more details, you can do so easily via the Deutsche Bahn website or by calling 030/2970. It is important for all travelers to prepare for the upcoming changes in good time to avoid stress and inconvenience. The report on the construction work and the associated restrictions was last updated on August 17th at 6:07 p.m.
