Mattersburg Railway will be modernized by 2027

In the upcoming construction phase, which lasts from early October to the end of November 2025, the work on the Mattersburg Railway will focus on driving the foundations for the overhead line masts. The power line necessary for electric train operations will be installed on these masts.

Modernization of the Mattersburg Railway: Closures until the end of 2027

During this period, no trains can run between Wiener Neustadt Main Station and Sopron from October 6 to 25, 2025, and from November 3 to 29, 2025 (each Monday to Saturday from 9:30 PM to 1:30 AM). Next year, a continuous closure of the Mattersburg Railway is planned during the main construction work from February 9 to December 12, 2026, it was further stated. The Mattersburg Railway is an important route for the development of the district and is especially significant for students and commuters, said Judith Engel, board member of ÖBB-Infrastructure.

"With the electrification of the route and the reconstruction measures, we are creating significant improvements on the one hand to make the switch to the railway as attractive as possible, and on the other hand, the use of modern, electric train sets instead of the previous diesel-powered passenger trains not only reduces CO2 emissions but also noise emissions," explained Engel. The work is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
