Railway electrification in the Neuss-Kaarst region is scheduled to be completed by 8th July.
In the coming months, construction works on mast sites at Kaarster See station and Neuss main station will commence. This article provides a detailed overview of the schedule, scope, potential impact on noise levels, and mitigation measures for the upcoming projects.
## Construction Schedule and Scope
### Kaarster See Station Mast Site The construction period for the Kaarster See station mast site is scheduled from June 2025 to August 2025. The works will primarily focus on the installation of communication and signal masts, groundwork, electrical setups, and testing. The construction will take place from Monday to Saturday, between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
### Neuss Main Station Mast Site The construction period for the Neuss main station mast site is set for July 2025 to September 2025. The works will involve the erection of new masts, trenching for cables, electrical work, and equipment calibration. Similar to the Kaarster See station, the construction will take place from Monday to Saturday, between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
## Potential Impact on Noise Levels
The construction activities will involve heavy machinery, drilling, and electrical works, which may generate elevated noise levels. However, noise levels are expected to be mostly moderate, with periodic higher peaks during mast erection and heavy equipment operation. The noise is anticipated mainly during daytime, with no planned night work to minimize disturbance.
## Affected Areas and Settlements
### Around Kaarster See Station The affected settlements around Kaarster See station include Kaarst city center, nearby residential neighborhoods such as Vorst and Büttgen, and surrounding recreational areas that may experience temporary noise. The primary impact zone will be the Kaarster See station vicinity, with minimal noise spillover expected at nearby smaller stops along the same line.
### Around Neuss Main Station The affected settlements around Neuss main station include Neuss city center residential zones and areas along approach routes to the station, especially close to the mast site. The Neuss main station area will be the primary impact zone, with possibly some impact at adjacent stations like Neuss Rheinpark Center due to proximity.
## Mitigation Measures
To mitigate the potential noise impact, measures such as the use of noise barriers and shielding near residential zones, limiting noisy activities to mid-day hours where possible, regular communication with local residents and businesses, and monitoring noise levels onsite to ensure compliance with local noise ordinances will be implemented.

In the realm of other industries, the completion of these construction projects at Kaarster See station and Neuss main station might have noticeable effects on the local financing scenario due to increased spending in the transportation sector, including public-transit and transportation services. To better accommodate commuters during this period, it's advisable to explore alternate routes and transportation methods to minimize delays or disruptions.
