New bike path for Hard: Ceremonial opening of the bike underpass!

Bahnhof Hard-Fußach, 6971 Hard, Österreich - In the municipality of Hard, bicycle traffic is strengthened on February 25th! With an investment of around 3 million euros, 70 percent of it funded by the state of Vorarlberg, environmentally friendly mobility is funded by the new bicycle underpass at Hard-Fußach station. This has now been officially released after some delays. "Actually, we would have wanted to open in December," said the spokesman, who attributes the delay to the construction work of the ÖBB. But today is the day on which cyclists can start the new, safe and direct connection route from Erlach towards Hard Zentrum and further to Lauterach or Dornbirn, which undoubtedly closes a significant gap in the network of cycle paths, as Vol.at reported.

attractive bike underpass and security

The newly designed Hard-Fußach train station also offers various improvements for cyclists. By converting the previous pedestrian underpass, a broader and more attractive bike underpass was created. According to the state council of Daniel Zadra, this project ensures that the gap in the national wheel route is now closed, which facilitates an everyday connection between the districts. With a maximum climb of only six percent and a road width of four meters, this new route not only offers a quick, but also a secure option for cyclists. The design of the ramps and modern lighting also increase the safety for all users, such as vmobil.at .

The symbolic opening, in which Mayor Martin Staudinger and the site manager will take part, takes place on a small scale. The new bike underpass at Hard-Fußach train station is therefore not only a step towards more sustainable mobility, but also a clear sign of the municipality of Hard for the promotion of bicycle traffic in the region. It remains to be seen how many cyclists will use the new connections in the future, but the basics are laid!
