22.04.2022 – No more pushing and shoving on the platforms. At Hamburg Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) the first new stairways have been opened for passengers. Also, there is now a new bus stop to boot.
For years, only two stairways per platform were available to the many rail passengers. Now Deutsche Bahn has provided relief. New stairways have been built on the five most heavily used above-ground platforms, leading passengers directly to the Steintorbrücke bridge. And there they can also change directly onto public transport at the newly built bus stop.
Our planning and calculations at the Steintorbrücke ensured that the stairways, each weighing 15 tonnes, could be delivered to the bridge and lifted into place with mobile cranes. The new bus stop on the bridge could also be constructed in a very short time. Thus, the new stairways were installed with only short weekend blockades on the tracks. They now provide further reliefs at Hamburg Central Station.
