1 The Project in General
The upgraded Hanau–Nantenbach line is part of the roughly 112 km long Main-Spessart route between Hanau and Würzburg. As this section has to cope with more than 200 trains per day, it is numbered among the busiest routes on the Deutsche Bahn network. By developing the route, it is intended to establish an efficient and fast link between the Rhine-Main District and Würzburg as well as the Region of Franconia in the years ahead. The core of this scheme is represented by the Schwarzkopf Tunnel bypass link between Laufach and Heigenbrücken. In this section, a more than 160...
