A busy year for the mobility of today and tomorrow

After 254 days of work were carried out on the railway network last year, the CFL are once again committed this year to increasing safety, comfort, and reliability.

As in previous years, the CFL select periods during which fewer people travel by train and are therefore less affected by construction works. Most maintenance, extension, and renovation works take place during school holidays or weekends, when the required buses for replacement services are also available.

When will my journey be affected by the CFL construction works?

With just a few clicks, you can use the interactive construction calendar on the CFL website to find out when your train line is affected by CFL works. Information on possible alternatives is available at cfl.lu or via the CFL mobile app.

30 kilometres of new tracks for a modern rail network

In 2026, an impressive 30 km of new tracks, 50,000 sleepers and 50,000 tonnes of ballast will be installed across various routes. Read aslo: Technology and expertise lay the tracks for the future

Final sprint for the Howald interchange platform

Work in Howald will come to an end in 2026 as planned. As early as March, two platforms will be available again for customers in Howald. With four tracks instead of two, train traffic between Howald and Luxembourg City can be organised more flexibly and thus more reliably.

Full speed ahead on the new line between Luxembourg and Bettembourg

After the first tracks were laid in autumn 2025 between Howald and the impressive OA14 bow-string bridge, track construction on the new line between Luxembourg and Bettembourg continues. In 2026, the necessary signalling and telecommunications equipment will also be installed. The installation of the overhead lines required for power supply is also planned.

Bettemburg: Der zweitgrößte Bahnhof im Wandel

Before the new line can go into service, it must be connected to both Luxembourg and Bettembourg. North of Bettembourg station, preparation works for the connection of the new line are in full swing, particularly in summer. Read also: Layer by Layer to a New Railway Line

To make operations at Bettembourg station more efficient, the construction of another grade-separated crossing (“saut‑de‑mouton”) is also planned. The aim is to ensure that trains between Volmerange‑les‑Mines and Bettembourg do not encounter freight trains from the nearby multimodal terminal. Initial works (foundation works) for this infrastructure are planned.

The Ettelbrück interchange platform continues to take shape

After the Ettelbrück station was rebuilt and expanded in recent years, final touches will be carried out in the underpasses in 2026. At the same time, the Roads Administration continues the underground relocation of road traffic, so that once these works are completed, construction of the new station building, car park, and youth hostel can begin.

Fewer level crossings, more safety

Because the safest level crossing is one that has been removed, the CFL continue its efforts to eliminate these potentially dangerous intersections between rail and road traffic. In 2026, CFL will work on eliminating three level crossings — in Dommeldange (PN13, closed since June 2025), in Milbech (PN59, with completion planned for July 2026), and in Colmar‑Usines (PN118a).

Making transfers easy: CFL continues to expand its parking facilities

This year too, additional parking spaces will be created near train stations. In Wecker, for example, work on the P+R project continues. There is also good news for users of the Belval‑Université P+R: in 2026, the damage caused by the fire will be repaired.
