Next month, the 80-week #Betuwe line works will officially start. DB InfraGO will be building a third track between #Emmerich and #Oberhausen, near the border with the #Netherlands. Initially, it was thought that the Betuwe line, crucial for #Dutch rail freight, would close for 80 weeks and that all freight traffic would have to go along the #Brabant line instead. Now, it turns out that it may not be that bad after all. The route will only be completely closed for 20 weeks. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews
