New construction phase of the Steinbrücke in the Inn: Completion until 2025

in Schwaz will be working on the next phase of the new stone bridge. Construction phase 2 has officially started, and the island fillings in the Inn are also on the agenda. This work should be completed by mid -2025 if the bridge is expected to be completed.

The past summer has shown how strong weather conditions can influence the region. There were dangerous flood events in the Alpine region and in the east of Austria. Fortunately, the Middle Lower Lower Lower Water Association was largely spared from these disasters, but the need for preventive measures is becoming increasingly clear.

challenges in flood protection

According to the managing director of the Water Association of Flood Protection Middle Unterinntal, Ing. Patrick Hörhager, the risk of flood increases continuously. The region has experienced an increase in sudden precipitation and a decrease in dry days in recent decades. This requires extensive optimization of the existing dams, which is a challenge. The current planning work is complex, and there are delays that can only be partially influenced by the water association. The coming months will primarily be shaped by negotiations with landowners to further promote flood protection.

The detailed planning for the Retention room Jenbach-Stan also continues, with the aim that the construction work there can begin there at the latest.

As far as the new stone bridge is concerned, the construction takes place under the best conditions. The "Tyrolean Straße" remains double -passable throughout the construction work, which ensures user -friendliness during this time. The total costs of the construction project amount to around 10 million euros. The work on the first part of the Steinbrücke has already been successfully completed, and now follows the second construction phase, which is accompanied by shaking work in the Inn.

The official opening of the new Steinbrücke is planned for the summer of 2025, a milestone that the population is looking forward to in Schwaz. In the meantime, many citizens have informed themselves about the progress and show great interest in the development of construction work in their region.
