New Connections for the Rhine-Main Region
Getting from one side of the Rhine-Main region to the other often means travelling through Frankfurt Central Station — even when your destination is nowhere near the city centre.
The Regionaltangente West (RTW) is set to change that. As one of the region's most ambitious transport projects, the new orbital rail line will connect communities, business hubs and transport interchanges across the western Frankfurt region, making travel faster, more direct and more convenient. At the same time, it will help relieve congestion at Frankfurt Central Station and the heavily used City Tunnel.
By creating new connections, the RTW is laying the foundation for a more connected, efficient and sustainable transport network for the Rhine-Main region.
