The Austrian state railway ÖBB has earmarked investments of EUR 19.5 billion for the expansion and modernisation of the rail network under the 2027-2032 framework plan. A further EUR 5 billion has been set aside for maintenance. Despite consolidation targets, the plan secures funding for key infrastructure projects and focuses on prioritisation, the consolidation of construction sites on major routes, and minimising construction-related operational disruptions. Investment priorities include expansion, modernisation, digitalisation, electrification, safety, climate adaptation, as well as customer-focused stations and multimodal services. Key projects remain on schedule, such as the Semmering Base Tunnel, with the start of operation scheduled for 2029, the renewal of the Semmering mountain line by 2028, the Wien Neustadt Nordkopf by 2029, the expansion of the Vienna suburban rail system including feeder lines by 2027, the Nordbahn by 2034, the northern Brenner feeder line by 2039, and the four-track expansion of the Linz – Wels line by 2031. Several electrification projects and station modernisations are also continuing as planned. According to ÖBB, 87% of the projects are still on schedule. There have been delays to the Vienna – Bratislava – Budapest airport link to 2037, the Franz-Josefs-Bahn to 2034, the Nettingsdorf – Rohr – Bad Hall line to 2039 and the Ebenfurt loop to 2032.
