Infrastructure budget approved
Germany’s federal cabinet has approved massive investments in the country's transport infrastructure.
According to transport minister Patrick Schnieder, EUR 166 billion has been earmarked for 2025-2029, an increase of more than 60% compared to the previous five years.
The bulk of the funding, EUR 107 billion, will go to the railways, followed by EUR 52 billion for roads and EUR 7.6 billion for inland waterways. The focus will initially be on maintenance and rehabilitation, especially of the rail network and motorway bridges, with new construction projects expected in future budgets. (js)
