The recently launched construction work at the Pulpit Gallery in Tyrol are among the most important construction sites in the country and are of crucial importance for the protection of Reschenstrasse against natural hazards. This approximately 400 -meter -long gallery is intended to prevent rocks from falling on the street, a common problem in the steep terrain. As Orf Tirol , the construction work on Monday, March 10, 2025, will be resumed after the winter break. In the initial phase, explosive and drilling work is due, whereby the work is particularly complex due to the rock walls up to 200 meters high. According to Günter Guglberger, the head of the bridge and tunnel construction department, a lot of preparatory work was done in autumn 2024.
