Staatshaushalt 2025-2028: 3,9 Milliarden Euro sollen in die Infrastruktur investiert werden [article in Luxembourgish, translation in comment section]

In order to prepare the country for the future and the demographic growth, the public investments should be kept high.

13% of the 2025 budget is intended here. An overview of the most important investments in infrastructure, buildings and transport.

Better connections, more comfort, more capacities: traveling by train should become more attractive, with new trains such as the Caradia Stream, but also better infrastructures.

Over the next 4 years, 113 million euros will be invested in Houwald’s peripheral station, the southern entrance to the city, for train, tram and bus passengers. 105 million euros will be invested until the end of 2028 for the new, 7 km long train line between Luxembourg and Luxembourg with its large arch bridge. 52 million have been earmarked for the Ettelbrück interchange. The station is already closed, but the P&R parking lot and the passenger building are still being built.

Investments in tram, bus and road

The tram will also continue to be expanded. In March next year, he should go to Findel. In 2026, it should be connected to the Cloche d’Or by two tracks. Additional lines are also planned. Therefore, the state triples the grant to Luxtram from around 80 million this year to 220 million euros in 2028.

Mobility should become multimodal, i.e. using different means of transport. 390 million euros will flow into the bus network alone next year. The state also continues to invest in road infrastructure. The endowment of the road fund will rise to 480 million euros a year until 2028. A large part of this goes into the expansion of the A3 and A6 motorways from two to three lanes.

The construction of a multimodal corridor on the A4 is estimated at 236 million euros. The construction site of the Housen bypass is already underway, but also the bypass roads Käerjeng and Hesper, which have been in discussion for a long time, are foreseen in the budget with 40 and 13.5 million euros respectively.

Public buildings

740 million euros will flow into the construction of high schools over the next 4 years. Investments are also made in the infrastructure for well-being and health. 116 million euros have been allocated for the renovation of the thermal domain in Munneref.

For the construction and expansion of hospital infrastructure, a good 43 million is earmarked for the new construction of the CHL next year alone. 10 million euros for the construction site of CHEM’s South Hospital. The expansion of the emergency department of the Nordspidol CHdN is estimated at 8 million euros.

Many investments in the future, which could also help a number of construction companies through the crisis. The hope in the sector is that they will be written out quickly.
