The state of Saxony-Anhalt is providing approximately one million euros in funding to the Zeitz Chemical and Industrial Park from its “Infrastructure” special fund.
The funding will be used to modernize the rail infrastructure in the entrance area of the Zeitz Chemical and Industrial Park, as well as the connecting line from the Tröglitz train station to the Zeitz freight yard.
“Industry needs efficient infrastructure, not only on the roads but also on the railways,” said Dr. Lydia Hüskens, Minister for Infrastructure and Digital Affairs, during the presentation of the grant notification. “With this funding, we are improving access to the Zeitz Chemical and Industrial Park and thereby strengthening an important economic hub in southern Saxony-Anhalt.”
The connecting line from the Tröglitz train station to the Zeitz freight yard links the Zeitz Chemical and Industrial Park to the public rail network as a central access route. The funding will be used to make significant investments in the track superstructure and new switches in the entrance area of the chemical park and along the approximately four-kilometer-long feeder line by the end of the year. The track sections between the new switches will also be constructed.
To enable rail traffic to operate with less wear and tear in the future, the area will not only be renovated but also optimized for operational efficiency. In addition to the track superstructure, the shunting routes will also be brought up to current standards. These improvements will enhance workplace safety for shunters in the area of the switches.
