Refurbishment of L 2009: Significant damage to storm

Road construction work in Lower Austria is a central task for infrastructure development, especially after the devastating storms that the region has done. In a recent report, Harald Kaufmann, head of the Lower Austrian road construction department in Tulln, announced that the work on the L 118 between Greifenstein and Höflein and on the L 2009 near Hadersfeld should begin in spring 2025. These projects are of crucial importance in order to remedy the damage caused by the storm disaster.

The latest storms have severely affected the street infrastructure, as Kaufmann explains. Around 100 slopes, floods and fallen trees meant that over 40 state roads in the Tulln region had to be closed. Such nature events illustrate the urgency with which the traffic routes concerned must be renovated.

In particular, the L 2009 has serious damage in several places that require a complete new building of the road. This is in line with the need to ensure traffic safety for citizens. The road construction department is very important to implement the necessary measures quickly and effectively in order to enable the traffic release again promptly.

In recent years, it has been shown that extreme weather events appear more and more, which requires continuous maintenance and expansion of the street infrastructure. It remains to be seen how quickly the construction work progresses in order to restore normal traffic conditions as soon as possible. Further details on this topic can be found in a detailed report www.noen.at .

The forecasts for the construction work are optimistic. With a timely implementation, it could be possible to release the main traffic routes for through traffic, which would represent an important step towards normality. All eyes are now aimed at developments in the coming months, while the road construction department is working on restoring the infrastructure.
