context_page_description: The Lübeck–Puttgarden railway is part of the international Vogelfluglinie between Germany and Denmark and connects Lübeck with Puttgarden on the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.
context_section_description: It is also planned to open the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link in 2020 as a tunnel. A treaty in relation to the project was signed by the transport ministers of Germany and Denmark on 3 September 2008. The section from Puttgarden to Lübeck has to be electrified by the time of the completion of the new link, but the duplication of the lines is not required until seven years after the completion of the fixed link. The Fehmarn Sound Bridge may remain single track. A review of the project was published on 11 November 2010, which found that it would have a benefit-cost ratio of 6.7.
  In the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan (Bundesverkehrswegeplan) 2030, Germany ear-marked 1.518 billion Euros for the electrification of the Lübeck–Puttgarden railway.
  The plans are now to stop all traffic Neustadt – Puttgarden 2022–2026 for rebuilding the route. Buses will have to be used instead of the trains on this section. The travel time Lübeck – Burg will be 49 minutes after reopening, 40 minutes faster than before. Deutsche Bahn has set up a website for the project: https://www.anbindung-fbq.de
