Planning
The platforms at Boppard station are accessible only by stairs, so the station is not accessible by the disabled. Rhineland-Palatinate has decided make all the stations of the state accessible. For Boppard central station, this means that lifts will be installed and platforms will be raised from 38 or 55 to 76 cm above the top of the rails. Funds were provided in the 2011 budget to the town of Boppard for this work. In addition, Säuerlingstraße which runs west of the station will be remodelled and relocated, which requires that the entrance to the station be rebuilt.
