An overview of all important information about the planned RSAG construction work and all current traffic restrictions.
Last update: 16 September 2026 – (subject to change)
On this page, you will find all the information you need about the construction projects planned by RSAG for 2026. We also provide information about current traffic restrictions caused by construction projects carried out by municipal companies that have a direct impact on public transport. Please feel free to use the new overview map for orientation.
RSAG construction projects
In 2026, RSAG will continue to invest heavily in the complete renovation of our track systems. Our tracks work hard every day: up to five lines use the same sections. Over time, this leads to wear and tear. Because we cannot build everywhere at once, temporary speed restrictions cannot always be avoided – but we are working continuously to eliminate them gradually.
The following RSAG construction measures are planned for 2026:
