I have read various posts re: the construction on this line. I found a train that does the route (Munich to Zurich), that is scheduled to take 4 hrs, 42 min. My question is, might this journey time change due to the construction, or does this time estimate already take the construction into consideration? (I realize the bus is about an hour shorter, but I prefer trains.)

When is this journey? Usually schedules for the near future have been adjusted to reflect any planned track maintenance. Enjoy your trip!

September.
That's what I would expect from the German Rail System; I just thought I'd get a second opinion.

If the DB web site shows a schedule for a specific date in semptember then the train will run (exept, of course, if a tunnel collapses ;)). Since March, due to the construction work on the Buchloe - Memmingen line EC's use the southern (and way more scenic) line via Kempten - Buchloe. The longer travel time is reflected in the current timetables.
