Rail construction projects underway across western Germany could impact travel plans in the coming weeks, according to Deutsche Bahn.

Especially affected are lines heading through cities including Koblenz, Cologne and Mainz.

Delays around the Kaiserslautern Military Community are expected to be minimal, and most work is set to wrap up by May 22. Still, not all lines will be running at all times.
