The construction of the new Gateway Gardens S-Bahn station and the associated connection to Frankfurt Airport will be felt inconveniently in the coming months, and not just by commuters travelling by S-Bahn.

The Frankfurt Airport exit of the A3, to Terminals 1 and 2, will be fully closed from Friday, August 23, 7 p.m., to Monday, August 26, 4 a.m., and from Friday, September 6, 9 a.m., to Monday, September 9, 4 a.m..
