Under-18 Development: Continuous Building Projects Scheduled Through End of 2026
Wickenburgstraße Station Renovation Extended in Essen
The renovation project for the Wickenburgstraße station in Essen, Germany, is set to continue into 2026, as announced by the Ruhrbahn. Originally scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025, the project will now span two construction phases.
The first phase of the renovation, which began in June 2023, is currently underway and is expected to last until April 2026. Due to the limited number of free tracks, U-bahns will pass alternately through the station during this period, causing temporary irritations on the U-bahn schedule.
Once the first phase is completed, the second phase will commence at the end of 2026. During this phase, only one track will remain free at the station, and the renovation works will continue until the end of the year.
The City of Essen (Stadt Essen) will be responsible for the second phase of the renovation. The exact duration of this phase has not been disclosed at this time.
The renovation project aims to modernise and improve the Wickenburgstraße station, ensuring it remains a vital transport hub for Essen's residents and visitors. Despite the ongoing construction works, the displays at the station now show an end date of April 2026 for the first construction phase.
The renovation of the Wickenburgstraße station is causing changes in the U-bahn schedule, and these changes are expected to continue until the end of the renovation project. Passengers are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and to check the displays for the latest updates.
The Wickenburgstraße station renovation is just one of many infrastructure projects currently underway in Essen, as the city continues to grow and develop. For updates on the renovation project and other news from Essen, stay tuned.
