Gigantic disorders: ICE to Dresden fully set from Monday!

From Monday evening, June 25, 2025, there will be an unexpected hurdle for rail travelers who are traveling between Leipzig and Dresden. From 9 p.m. ICE traffic on this route will be completely stopped. This means that all ICE trains from Wiesbaden to Dresden will only drive to Leipzig until Sunday, June 29, at 5 p.m. Instead, replacement buses are available for long-distance traffic passengers between these two cities, reports picture .

The diversions and restrictions on the route are due to extensive construction work, especially renewal work on the course between Dornreichenbach and Dahlen. This work begins on June 23 and should continue until June 29. Trains of line S 3 between Borsdorf, Wurzen and Oschatz and the RE 50 line take a forced break because they also need to be set.

construction work ensure delays and diversions

The rail travelers must also expect travel time extensions of up to 90 minutes if some trains are diverted and no longer hold in Riesa. The Intercity train from Hanover to Dresden also runs only every two hours and has to be diverted via Elsterwerda. This eliminates the stop in Riesa, and the journey can take up to 60 minutes longer. Sometimes it will also be the case that the IC trains begin in Dresden-Neustadt and end and the departure and arrival times are postponed by 30 to 60 minutes, so n-tv .

Saxony's infrastructure minister Regina Kraushaar expresses resentment about the short -term communication of these closures. These abrupt changes could surprise many travelers and bring them to the bredouille. Travelers are therefore urgently asked to find out more precisely about digital information media before starting their journey.

In addition to the current restrictions between Leipzig and Dresden, further delays can also be expected in the coming week. From Thursday, June 27th, there could be delays between Leipzig/Halle and Erfurt due to bridge work in Thuringia. A delay of up to 60 minutes is also predicted between Leipzig and Munich. The "Disorders in Railway Traffic" initiative emphasizes that such stumbling blocks in the German route network are unfortunately inevitable, be it due to fallen trees or damage to the trains and on the overhead lines. This initiative offers valuable support and current information on route closures and disabilities on stoversungen-bahn traffic.de .

For all travelers, the following applies: travel well informed or switch to the bus connections between Leipzig and Dresden. With a little luck, the return to the normality on this important connection after the construction work will be more smooth.
