A new emission-free connection in Darmstadt

The technical university at the "Lichtwiese" in Darmstadt is currently only reachable by bus traffic.

For the year 2020, however, calculations foretell a passenger growth of 45 % to 8.700 passengers/day, which cannot longer be managed with busses. The planned "Lichtwiesenbahn" – Line 2 – will offer this capacity and will upgrade the university location Darmstadt with a directly connection from the main station to the technical university every 7,5 minutes.

Also the environment will benefit from the new Line 2 as CO2-emmissions will be reduced by fewer bus traffic.

igr was commissioned for construction supervision of traffic facilities and engineering structures. The measure which will start at the end of November 2019 will be attended until the end of 2021.
