City of Salzburg checks millions of losses after S-Link defeat!

Salzburg, Österreich - The plans for the controversial S-Link in Salzburg have finally failed. After a referendum in which the majority of citizens voted against the construction of the railway, the city politicians decided to handle the project company around the deputy governor Stefan Schnöll. "It no longer makes sense to continue society," said Schnöll and announced an orderly resolution in which ongoing processes to secure knowledge regarding the underground should be concluded, such as Salzburg24.at reported.

A total of around 20 million euros flowed into the plans for the S-Link without a building being realized. In the future, the control committee of the city of Salzburg will check the financial situation of the project company in order to create transparency about the previous expenses. "The Salzburgers have a right to know how much money the city and country have invested and what was achieved with it," emphasized club chairwoman Ingeborg Haller. As described orf.at , the examination of the control office has been running since the beginning of the year and is expected to be completed at the end of 2024.

potential consequences for the employees and local transport

The decision brings with it far -reaching consequences for the employees of the project company: Around ten employees have to look for new jobs. In addition, the question remains unanswered how the traffic problems in the traffic jam -plagued Salzburg central area should be solved in the future. The city administration is already working on a new local transport plan. "Nothing will disappear in a drawer," promised a spokesman for the mayor, since the city would like to implement faster, traffic -effective measures, for example extensions in local public transport and the expansion of the cycling infrastructure.
