Aggsteiner Strasse previously opens: A liberation for the region!

The Aggsteiner Straße in the Wachau will be opened for traffic on Friday, March 21, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. This was announced by Lower Austria Transport Councilor and State Vice Vice -Vice Landbauer. After extensive security measures that were a challenge, the more important transport connection could be returned faster than planned. "We have completed the work on the slope and no longer need traffic light regulations," said Landbauer. From Monday, March 24th, public transport will also be normalized again, including bus line 720, which connects Krems, Rosatz and Aggstein with Melk, as krone.at reported.

security measures completed

The road construction work included the installation of a six-meter-high rope barrier over 90 meters and the securing of the adjacent areas with rock & self-technology. A total of over 10,000 tons of rock material had to be removed after a devastating rock fall affected the B33 on June 3, 2024, which led to further risks. State Vice Landbauer emphasizes that the highest security standards have been observed during the entire construction work to ensure security for workers and road users. "We ignited a turbo and reach the traffic release faster than first announced," added Landbauer.

The last inspection of the authority took place on March 20 to confirm the release of the street. According to road construction director Josef Decker, everything happens with the highest precision and under constant geotechnical assessment. By April 18, the last asphalting work will be carried out in a half -side lock, while the road is already being opened for traffic. This progress is a crucial step towards restoring normality in the region, which can breathe a sigh of relief, as Landbauer emphasizes, so ots.at
