Over the course of two weeks, a temporary overhead contact line was installed in the Aarau Süd station area of the Aargau Verkehr AG AVA, and track 11 was demolished.
This work is in preparation for the construction of a completely new station building and the widening of the pedestrian underpass. The almost 100-year-old station building is currently being demolished. In order to make the masts on the north side give way, new masts had to be erected on the south side.
This means that there is no longer any obstacle to the progress of the construction work for the new station building. Final works on the overhead contact line are planned for 2023, after completion of the new building.
