Marchfeld in traffic jam: politicians finally call for progress at S8!
Member of the Landtag René Lobner from the VP NÖ is calling on the new federal government to quickly advance Marchfeldschnellstraße S8. Lobner emphasizes that the planning of the S8 is closely linked to the S1 clasp and calls for a clear commitment to the implementation of both projects, especially in view of the daily traffic jams of up to 35,000 vehicles in the Marchfeld. "Every delay increases the traffic load for the region," warns Lobner. The S8 was decided in the National Council in 2006 and has been waiting for its implementation for almost two decades. The S8 working group plans to negotiate with the new Minister of Transport Peter Hanke to finally bring movement in the process, such as OTS.AT reported.
The Minister for Climate Protection, Leonore Gewessler, has created new obstacles. The environmental impact assessment (RRP) for the S8 must be carried out again, and the construction of the praise tunnel, which was decisive for the gap in the S1, was canceled. This leads to uncertainties about the strategy of traffic planning in Lower Austria. Mobility Councilor Ludwig Schleritzko expressed his lack of understanding about the decision and emphasized the importance of the S1 and S8 for the economic development of the region. The cancellation and the renewed UVP examination of the S8 could bring far-reaching negative economic consequences, as already illustrated the campaign rounds of other politicians and business representatives, reported Meinbezirk.at .
The parliamentary provisions for the implementation of the S1 and S8 are clear, and Lobner demands that the federal government adhere to it. The hope for a quick solution remains, but the political arguments about the traffic projects are intensified every day when the construction is put on hold. "The focus of the 18,000 residents must be the focus," emphasizes Lobner, while the population is hoping for concrete progress.
