Schaffhausen renews its Bahnhofstrasse
Bahnhofstrasse in Schaffhausen will be extensively renovated and upgraded by May 2025. The aim is to transform the city's central transport hub into a safe, barrier-free and attractive space.
Bahnhofstrasse in Schaffhausen is being modernised as part of a one-year construction project. The aim is to create a spacious and clearly laid out street that optimises traffic flow and increases safety for all road users.
Optimisation of the traffic infrastructure
Bahnhofstrasse is a central traffic junction in Schaffhausen. The renovation measures will renew the road surface in order to improve road safety and utilise public spaces more efficiently. At the same time, the space for pedestrians and passengers will be increased, making it easier to get on and off the train.
Charging stations for electric buses have already been installed in advance of the refurbishment in order to make public transport in Schaffhausen more sustainable. The current work will not only upgrade the functionality of Bahnhofstrasse, but also reposition it as an inviting arrival and meeting point.
Accessibility and adaptations
Accessibility is a key concern for the city. The bus stops will be equipped with higher kerbs to ensure barrier-free access for people with disabilities. These measures were developed in close consultation with disability organisations and ensure that Bahnhofstrasse complies with current legal requirements.
