Thaybrücke in Vestenpoppen: partially reopened in sight

The Thay Abrücke in Vesten poppen has been under a traffic -related lock since the heavy flood in mid -September. The bridge took considerable damage due to the water, which makes it impossible to pass through Vesten popp. Affected road users have to prepare for detours. When you get from Waidhofen, it is necessary to drive over Moritz-Schadek-Gasse while access from the B5 requires a different route.

But there is hope for soon improvements. According to the current announcement by the Waidhofner street champion Martin Hiemetzberger, the asphalt of the bridge will be removed this week. This wants to check whether material may be missing under the road. If this is not the case, a partial restoration of sidewalk and roadway would be possible. If everything goes according to plan, the bridge could be released for traffic within one to three weeks.

renovation work in progress

The actual renovation work on the bridge is tackled by the Zwettl bridge. A special focus here is on the installation of a "kolk protection". This protection is intended to prevent the material from being rinsed out under the opposite of the bridge, which has led to further damage in the past. Preparations for the financing and tender of the constructionless for the renovation measures are currently already underway. This work is scheduled to begin this year, with the Thay Abrücke will only be blocked on one side during the entire renovation.

The developments around the bridge are of great importance for the region, since the lock brings significant changes for many residents and road users. A perspective reopening of the bridge, even if it is only partially accessible, could be significant relief for the affected residents and improve access to the region again.
