Kipferwald / St. Niklaus

Railway construction site Kipferwald

In an impressive, near-natural landscape between forest and river, the MGB roadway was renewed over a length of 680m in the Kipferwald between Stalden and St. Niklaus. In addition, the retaining structures on the slope side are now being repaired over a length of 420m and supplemented with a cordon for cable pipe installations. In addition, new drainage facilities are being constructed. The uphill retaining wall will be additionally reinforced with earth anchors and concrete ribs will be erected at regular intervals. The work is being carried out under extremely cramped conditions and while the railway is in operation. Several trains pass the construction site every hour in both directions. This requires a sophisticated safety and logistics concept. After the 3-week total closure from 25 October to 15 November, the construction work will be largely completed.
