The draft of the ‘Infrastructure Future Act’ aims to significantly shorten planning and approval procedures for rail and road construction projects. The goal is to implement key transport projects faster and eliminate bottlenecks in the network.
Federal Transport Minister Schnieder described the coalition’s agreement on accelerated rail and road construction projects as a ‘paradigm shift’. He emphasized that speeding up rail and road construction is necessary to secure Germany’s competitiveness and meet climate goals.
The law is to be passed within the current legislative term. Details on specific projects or financing questions were not initially disclosed.
