Bridge construction in Bad Camberg: Train cancellations and replacement buses - Major rail disruptions hit Frankfurt-Limburg routes from late March

Major rail disruptions are set to affect passengers travelling between Frankfurt, Limburg, and Wiesbaden from late March. The changes come as a new railway bridge is installed near Bad Camberg, forming part of a larger bypass project. Temporary bus services will replace suspended train routes during the work.

The first phase of disruption begins on the weekend of March 28–29, when RB 22 trains between Idstein and Limburg will be cancelled. A more extensive closure follows from March 30 to April 7. During this period, no RE 20 or RB 22 trains will operate between Bad Camberg and Limburg, while RB 21 services will also stop running between Niedernhausen and Limburg.

The bridge installation and testing will run from March 28 at 1:00 AM until April 7 at 7:00 PM. These works are part of the ongoing bypass project for Bad Camberg, Erbach, and Würges, which aims to improve regional rail connections. To minimise disruption, six replacement bus services (SchieneReplace buses) will run alongside the affected rail lines. These include routes such as RE50, RE55, RB10, and RB11, connecting key locations like Frankfurt, Bad Camberg, and Montabaur. The temporary bus network will remain in place from around March 2025 until summer 2026, covering the entire construction phase.

Passengers on the Taunus route (Limburg–Frankfurt) and the Ländchesbahn line (Wiesbaden–Limburg) will face delays and cancellations. Replacement buses will serve all disrupted routes, ensuring continued travel options. The new bridge is expected to enhance long-term rail reliability once construction is complete.
