Oerlikon integration – Subsection 4.006
Oerlikon, Switzerland / 05.2010 - 03.2016
The cross-city line from Altstetten through Zurich's central railway station to Oerlikon is a railway stretch of just 10km. This line passes beneath the central railway station at the Löwenstrasse underground station.
As part of the finishing works on section 4 (Oerlikon integration, subsection 4.006), PORR was contracted by the Schweizerischen Bundesbahnen to perform comprehensive civil engineering works right next to the still-operating platforms.
