Erpfendorf: Roads closed because of rockfall - geologists and drone in use!

Erpfendorf, Österreich - in Tyrol, a dangerous Situation on the Erpfendorfer state road occurs due to a rockfall. This important traffic artery is closed between Kössen and Erpfendorf in both directions, as reported ORF TIROL . Road champion Michael Aufschneider has been in use since the early hours of the morning to assess the extent of the hazard. In order to ensure security and examine the brittle rock, the state geology is now also consulted and a drone of the state warning center is used.

The exact time as to when the lock can be canceled remains uncertain while the work on site continues. The state road is particularly important for regional transport and the temporary stop could affect the flow of traffic in the area. In addition, an overview of the Landesstraßen in Tirol to the Erpfendorfer state road is a significant connection for commuters, which underlines the urgency of the situation. Investigations into the stability of the rock will be crucial for the quick restoration of the transport connection.
