Modernising rail links in the border triangle
The railway line between Feldkirch and Buchs SG, which is around 18 kilometres long, connects Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. It is therefore a key route in international rail transport and plays an important role in long-distance services as well as in cross-border local and freight services.
Through targeted modernisation measures, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG is gradually developing this line further. The aim is to create an efficient, reliable connection within the international rail network.

Project overview
The Feldkirch–Buchs rail link is undergoing extensive modernisation and will be adapted to meet the requirements of modern, international rail transport. These measures will lay the foundations for improved infrastructure quality and a modernised technical infrastructure, thereby ensuring more reliable operations.
In order to carry out the works efficiently in a coordinated manner, a continuous line closure will be necessary from 14 June to 14 October 2026. During this period, there will be changes to train services.
