via Urberach. The modernisation of the Dreieich Railway began in 1997. Platform and tracks were rebuilt and preparations were made for the construction of a platform subway. The station was completely rebuilt for the upgrade of the Rodgau Railway in preparation for the extension of the S-Bahn in 2003. The platform access previously provided by a pedestrian bridge was replaced by a barrier-free subway. Since then there has been direct access on the main platform between the S-Bahn and the buses. The platforms for tracks 2-4 are connected by stairs and lifts to the subway. The conversion of the station forecourt to a substantial urban gateway began in the third quarter of 2013. The station building was renovated during this work. Various residential and shopping areas were incorporated in the building. A glass structure was planned on the site of the former northern building, which would house a catering business.
