Metro extension in Nuremberg

In Nuremberg, construction work on the new U3 line is in full swing: In order to give Südstadt a better connection to local public transport, the existing U3 subway network has been expanded since 2020.

The consortium of HOCHTIEF and the Max Bögl Group are in charge of this. The major contract includes the construction of two railway stations in Gebersdorf and Kleinreuth, a turning facility and a depot in Gebersdorf. The associated tunnels will be constructed using both the cut-and-cover and mining methods. The biggest challenge for all involved is the crossing under the Main-Danube Canal between Kleinreuth and Gebersdorf.

By 2023, 7,500 tons of reinforcing steel from SÜLZLE Stahlpartner in Dessau-Roßlau, supported by the branches in Pressath, Nordhausen and Ehrenfriedersdorf, will provide the necessary stability. In addition, 1,030 tons of list mats from SOTRALENTZ CONSTRUCTION will be installed. The laying work will be carried out by SÜLZLE reinforcement technology. The commissioning of the new, approximately two-kilometre-long line is expected to take place in 2025.
