Maintenance work on the overhead line system

EHIGHWAY. During the period from April 14 to 23, work was carried out at night on the overhead line of the eHighway on the A1. This was the scheduled first maintenance of the overhead lines.
In the week after Easter, the condition of the catenary systems and their support equipment was first checked above the Lübeck lane, before the Hamburg lane was worked through in the following week. The tests included visual inspections of the components mounted above the road and random checks of the contact wire position.
The operation was carried out jointly by employees of Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH (NVS) and FuE-Zentrum FH Kiel GmbH using two lift trucks operating in parallel.
