The project is essentially approved via a so-called railway planning approval procedure at federal level. This has now completed the preliminary review, as the city and canton of Bern, the transport company Bernmobil and the municipal energy supplier ewb announced on Monday.
The total cost of the construction project is around 42.6 million Swiss francs. The city of Bern will contribute 15.7 million Swiss francs. Voters will vote on the matter next September.
If the ballot box results in a yes, construction work is expected to begin in 2026, the statement continues.
A cantonal building permit is required for the renovation and redesign of Veieliplatz and Munzinterplätzli planned by the city of Bern. The projects will also be made publicly available soon.
