DE Under the slogan: "140 kilometres of climate protection by rail: the Oldenburg-Wilhelmshaven line electrified", the complete electrical commissioning of the DB Oldenburg - Wilhelmshaven upgraded line was celebrated on Monday, 12 December 2022. In eleven years, the formerly single-track line was transformed into a modernised, double-track and electrified railway line for passenger and freight transport. Along the route to Jade-Weser Port, 122,000 metres of track, 332,000 tonnes of ballast and 73 points were installed. Five new railway bridges, three new road bridges, one new platform bridge and 36 modernised level crossings were created. Only one railway bridge in Oldenburg and some remaining work are still outstanding.
The main speakers at the commissioning ceremony for the now electrified railway line were DB Board Member Berthold Huber, State Secretary for Transport Michael Theurer and Economics Minister Olaf Lies.
DB Infrastructure Board of Management Berthold Huber describes the construction project as a technical masterpiece for climate protection in which various specialised engineers had to solve complex tasks. The expansion enables the freight of around 2,000 lorries a day to be transferred from road to rail. This saves a massive amount of CO2 and relieves the burden on roads and the environment.
In his speech, Lower Saxony's Minister for Economic Affairs, Construction, Transport and Digitalisation, Olaf Lies, spoke about the starting signal for environmentally friendly and more efficient container transport to and from Jade-Weser-Port Wilhelmshaven. The people of the region and the almost 8,000 people employed in the port would benefit from this measure.
We, as Mull und Partner, are proud to have supported this major project with our expertise in soil and waste management. In total, we supported the recycling and disposal of around 1,500,000 tonnes of soil material that was generated during soil improvement measures.
