City tunnel Feldkirch: Relief for traffic and quality of life by 2030!

Feldkirch, Österreich - The long -planned city tunnel Feldkirch finally takes on concrete forms! The construction work begins in February 2025 after the Vorarlberg State Budget 2025 has already estimated 29 million euros for the Monumental project. With a total volume of around 300 million euros, the tunnel will consist of four branches: Felsenau, Tisis, Altenstadt and Toster. This comprehensive infrastructure measure is not only an important signal for the country's transport policy, but also an important step towards the more sustainable quality of life for the population, such as vorarlberg.orf reported.

The actual tunneling work will start in autumn 2025 and are expected to last until summer 2028. Both Governor Markus Wallner and the responsible speaker Christof Bitschi emphasized that the city tunnel is a key project for the traffic infrastructure in Vorarlberg. The noise reduction and reduction of air pollutants in heavily frequented residential areas are central aspects that promise a significant improvement in living conditions. "The city center of Feldkirch will also benefit," said Wallner.

a long way to implement

Planning for the city tunnel extends over many years. From the discussions between 1992 and 1998 to various traffic options to a consensus procedure since 2005, numerous steps have led to implementation. The environmental impact assessment (RRP) was positive in 2015, and the ultimate construction was made possible by a judgment of the Federal Administrative Court 2019. The city tunnel is highlighted as a best variant that is now finally going into implementation. The inclusion of a domestic construction consortium from Jägerbau, Strabag and Hilti+Jehle represents another positive impulse for the region, such as the information from Stadtunnel-feldkirch.at Take
