Risk of slip at the Westring: Asfinag reacts to concerned citizens!

worrying developments in the S 10: ASFINAG project manager Franz Sempelmann is faced with a variety of slope slips that occurred on the Westring side of the Linz at the beginning of the year. Sempelmann reports that photos of concerned road users have been received in the past few days. The so -called slope protection networks that are installed to protect the area indicate that there is no acute danger to traffic safety. These steel networks are only slightly loaded, and upcoming discussions with the city of Linz are already planning to discuss additional security measures. According to Sempelmann, smaller detachments in spring are not unusual. Further measures for slope stabilization should be implemented by June to improve the situation, as reported by orf.at

Environmental measures and earth mining in Pilgersdorf

The support also comes from the area of environmental protection: massive earthworks are planned in connection with the S 10 by the end of June. Around 45,000 cubic meters of ground, including 10,000 cubic meters of humus, are to be removed in Pilgersdorf. Sempelmann explains that the dismantling is not arbitrary, but is required due to an environmental impact assessment (RRP). This is a legal requirement that requires that a space for each built -in area of the S 10 must be created twice as large as compensation. This conversion of the previous agricultural areas into a lean meadow ensures tensions and displeasure in the community, such as tips.at reported

ASFINAG reacts to the pressure of the authority and the farmers who want to regain their areas. The terrain corrections in Pilgersdorf should be completed within around eight weeks, with at least 20 centimeters of intermediate floor and five centimeters of humus remain on the property. The costs for these measures amount to several hundred thousand euros. After recultivation, the area is regularly maintained to design a lean meadow with hedge planting. Sempelmann sees the allegations of Humus mission as unfounded and emphasizes that an exact construction supervision of the measures was guaranteed.
