Pasing station's Wolkentunnel underpass closed for U5 works
The pedestrian and cycle underpass beneath the tracks at Pasing station, known as the Wolkentunnel ("cloud tunnel"), is being temporarily closed because of construction work at the station for the new U5 underground line. The underpass serves as a north-south link under the railway lines.
The underpass is fully closed to pedestrians and cyclists from Monday 2 November until Wednesday 23 December, and again from Monday 4 January 2027 until Saturday 6 February 2027. Between these two periods it will remain open, but with a reduced width. Throughout the works, the platforms can still be reached from the north.
A signposted diversion is in place for cyclists. On the western side it runs via Hermann-Hesse-Weg, and on the eastern side via Offenbachstraße. Pedestrians can use the Deutsche Bahn underpass instead.
There are no restrictions for motorists or for public transport services. Information signs are being put up on site, and staff will be on hand to guide passengers during the first week of the closure.
According to the City of Munich, the work will also improve connections to local public transport.
