This was made possible by moving the former crossing at Ulrichsberg to a newly built crossing loop further north at Grafling.
In spite of its higher construction costs, the latter was chosen because, long term, it would offer more economical and faster operation utilising a double loop line between Oberkandelbach and Grafling and the tunnel at Ulrichsberg.
The time gained, as a result of the new bridge, by up trains will be used at the crossing point of Grafling, where currently the down trains have to wait several minutes, and where a new station " Grafling-Arzting " was built in 2013 not far from the old one at Grafling which has been closed.
