In this area in the middle of the Bonner Straße in the south of Cologne,
the new station Marktstraße will be built. It will be the southern end
station of the new underground line which shall start operating in 2010, at
least for some time, as a later extension of the line is considered. On the
right a ramp leads down to the next station Bonner Wall which is already under
the surface. On 18 March 2006, when the picture was taken, this area was used to
store the tail modules for the two tunnel drilling machines. Later this modules
will be dragged into the excavation of the station Bonner Wall, which serves as
starting pit for the drilling machines.
