Disruption in Rail Services: Temporary Shutdown of the Railway Line from Oberasbach to Stein for a Full Day
On August 13, 2025, a full closure of the railway underpass at Steiner Straße/Mühlstraße in Oberasbach and Stein will take place. This closure is due to demolition work on a protective structure by the German Railway, as announced by the city of Stein.
During the closure, which will be from 7 AM to approximately 7 PM, traffic from Unterasbach will not pass through Steiner Straße, and instead will be rerouted via Oberweihersbucher Straße to Stein. Conversely, traffic from Stein will access the town via Mühlstraße. Access from Unterasbach will remain possible via Steiner Straße during the closure.
The detour does not affect the access to adjacent properties during the closure, ensuring minimal disruption to local businesses and residents. The detour also does not affect the scheduled demolition work on the protective structure by the German Railway.
For those travelling from Stein, an alternative detour route has been established, directing traffic via Eichenweg to Oberweihersbuch. For local navigation around the closed underpass area, drivers can use the nearby main roads Verstahnstraße and Mögeldorfstraße.
It is crucial to note that the A6 motorway can also be used to bypass the closure. Traffic signs and local authorities will provide guidance on-site to help drivers follow the recommended detour routes. The detour route avoids the closed section of railway between Oberasbach and Stein, ensuring a safe and efficient journey for motorists.
Despite the closure, train services on this section of the railway will not be affected. The detour does not affect the closure of the railway underpass at Steiner Straße/Mühlstraße during the demolition work.
In summary, motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and follow the detour signs carefully to ensure a smooth and safe commute during the railway underpass closure in Oberasbach and Stein on August 13, 2025.
What about the impact on public-transit during this closure? Is there an alternative finance-backed plan for transportation? Since the rail closure doesn't affect train services, could we anticipate any delays or alterations in the industry's local bus or shuttle services?
