Train Service Resumes Between Cologne and Düsseldorf After Bridge Inspection

A bridge in Langenfeld was deemed safe after an inspection, allowing train services to resume, though delays persist.

The train services between Cologne and Düsseldorf were halted on Monday due to detected damages on a bridge in Langenfeld.
The bridge inspection revealed no structural damage, and it was reopened for both train and road traffic late Monday night.
Travelers faced significant delays and service disruptions, with some resorting to taxis due to the lack of replacement buses.
The affected train lines included S6, S11, RE1, RE5, and RE6, with some services rerouted or experiencing partial cancellations.
A new bridge construction is planned for 2026 as part of the NRW infrastructure improvement initiative.
