Götzendorf Interconnect

The Götzendorf Interconnect (German: Götzendorfer Spange) is a proposed railway line in Austria linking the Pressburg Electric Railway to the Eastern Railway. The original 14-kilometer-long line, initially single track with provision for future double-tracking and a maximum design speed of 160kph, was to begin west of Fischamend, turn sharply south through Schwadorf and Enzersdorf an der Fischa, cross highway B10, and join the Ostbahn at Götzendorf; construction was scheduled to take place from 2013 to 2016 at a cost of 145 million Euros.

After budget cuts in 2012 put the project on hold for the foreseeable future, the proposal was altered and renamed the Airport Interconnect (German: Flughafenspange) in 2015. The current planned route, finalised from 2019 to 2021, will run next to the A4 freeway with a design speed of 250kph; construction is currently scheduled to take place between 2028 and 2035.[1][2][3]
