This required considerable modernisation and electrification between Graben-Neudorf and Germersheim. In addition, the three new stops of "Germersheim Mitte/Rhein", "Bruchsal Am Mantel" and "Bruchsal Sportzentrum" were built. The upgrade of the line began in early July 2010 and lasted 17 months. The cost of the infrastructure work amounted to approximately €31.7 m. All stations were adapted for the disabled and made barrier-free. The only exception was the halt of "Bruchsal Am Mantel", which had no ramps and lifts for part of 2012.
