The upgrade works will see the entire railway line become double track (40km between Passow and the border) and fully electrified. Furthermore, the whole section is to be modernised to allow trains to run at speeds of 160km/h. A total of five stations in Uckermark border region will also be refurbished. The planned completion date for the works is 2026. Trains will then travel between Berlin and the port of Szczecin in 90 minutes, which is 20 minutes faster than today.
