DB InfraGO is building a new road bridge in Großhelfendorf and renewing the level crossing at Göggenhofener Weg. From 24 July to 16 October, buses will replace S-Bahn trains on the S5 between Aying and Kreuzstraße.
Quick overview
This announcement is primarily relevant for rail passengers, as it may have concrete effects on planning, connections or infrastructure. The focus is on Dbinfrago, S5, Sbahnmuenchen, Ersatzverkehr, Baustelle, Grosshelfendorf and Bahnuebergang. The key points are summarised concisely below.
Key points
- Closure of the Aying–Kreuzstraße section from Friday, 24 July (20:50) to Friday, 16 October (4:30).
- Replacement service by bus; journey time around 20 minutes, coordinated with the S5 timetable at Aying.
- The replacement stop in Großhelfendorf is the “Staatsstraße” bus stop (Rosenheimer Straße, approx. 1 km from the station); in Peiß the bus stops at the Gasthaus zur Post.
- The morning S5 service departing Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn at 7:01 will additionally stop at Dürrnhaar (school traffic); on some nights the replacement service will be extended to Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn.
- Aim of the works: a new road bridge replacing the Forststraße level crossing, a new barrier-free platform, a new cycle and footpath, and the renewal of the Göggenhofener Weg level crossing – for greater safety and more stable S-Bahn operations.
What this means for travelers
Travelers should take a close look at the period, route and booking conditions. The key question is whether the announcement already triggers concrete timetable changes or initially describes a political or strategic development.
Context
DB InfraGO is replacing the old level crossing on Forststraße with a new road bridge and rebuilding the Großhelfendorf S-Bahn station and platform to be barrier-free. At the same time, the level crossing on Göggenhofener Weg to the north is being renewed. Due to the extensive works, S-Bahn services on the S5 between Aying and Kreuzstraße are suspended; a bus replacement service covers the connection.
What to watch now
- Only check specific timetable or construction notices once travel dates are fixed.
- Allow more generous connection times for international journeys.
- Monitor the source and operator information in case dates are still provisional.
