Overview
- Train service between Zittau and Ebersbach is suspended until further notice after a structural inspection flagged a collapse threat.
- Länderbahn deployed ad hoc buses immediately, with a scheduled rail replacement service set to operate from Thursday.
- Deutsche Bahn route information cites the unsafe bridge as the reason for the shutdown, with RE2 running by bus and RB61 terminating early in Ebersbach.
- Zittau closed the road and pedestrian bridge following the inspection report, describing the structure as old and dilapidated with demolition planning already in progress.
- Authorities plan a coordination meeting on Thursday and an on‑site review Friday morning to determine if limited rail operations can resume safely.
