U-Bahn tree nursery Laim: Design and construction work in the time-lapse!

Laim, Deutschland - in Munich a lot happens when it comes to expanding the subway. The focus is particularly on the extension of the U5 from Laimer Platz to Pasing, which has been in full swing since the start of construction. From now on, the Munich and Munich women can look forward to a new chapter in public transport. Tramreport reports that the first construction phases have already been progressed and the traffic areas were laid on one side.

The new route extends over around 3.8 kilometers and includes the “Baumschule Laim” station and the future stops on the knee and Willibaldstrasse. The latter was launched in 2022 and was realized with an impressive slot wall lid construction. The “Baumschule Laim” underground station will take into account the request of the district committee and will be designed with special glaze techniques and tree silhouettes made of stainless steel.

The way to Pasing and beyond

As the information from the extension project , the route begins at the end of the existing storage facility west of the Laimer Platz station in Gotthardstrasse and follows this course to the Willibaldstrasse. An important aspect of the construction work is the planned train station on the knee, which will be built south of Landsberger Straße.

The construction work has been going on for some time and, according to the BaURFerat , under an intensive time frame. Until the opening of the subway up to the Pasinger Bahnhof, however, the eye will be considered in 2035-a project that is faced with challenges and an increase in construction costs from EUR 1 billion to 1.3 billion euros.

financing and future outlook

The household hole that the city of Munich finds is tried to close through cuts and shifts in other projects in local public transport. It is expected that the city will have to bear the costs for the section from Laimer Platz to the "Name School Laim" alone, since the subway extension after Pasing has not yet had a positive benefit-cost factor.

Nevertheless, there is hope: The city has presented a positive investigation into the route between the Laim and Freiham tree nursery, which has achieved a value of 1.13. Here you hope for a funding notice, although commissioning up to Freiham could probably be waiting for two decades.

The progress in the U5 extension is a clear sign of the development of Munich local transport, which will significantly improve mobility in the city. So let's be excited to see how the project will continue to develop.
