An approximately 2,750m addition to metro line 5 will connect the new Europaviertel development on the site of the former main freight station to the city’s underground rail network.
The U5 Europaviertel consortium, comprising PORR’s civil engineering and tunnelling divisions with PORR subsidiary Stump-Franki Spezialtiefbau, was awarded the contract for the construction of a 1,160m-long underground line section – including a connection to the existing U5 line – as well as the construction of an emergency exit at the junction point and structural work for the Güterplatz underground station.
