Construction site in Archduke-Eugen-Straße: Traffic again from December 20th!

Erzherzog-Eugen-Straße 24, Innsbruck, Österreich - The construction work on Archdow-Eugen-Straße in Innsbruck, an important traffic junction between Rennweg and Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Straße, is about to be completed. From December 20, 2024, the road will be released for regular traffic again - four months earlier than originally planned. The responsible companies in the infrastructure, including IKB, IVB and Tigas, have worked on the renewal of sewers, water and gas pipes and tram tracks since spring. Thanks to an efficient cooperation and the approval of additional roadblocks, the work can be ended faster than expected, such as MeinDZIRK.AT reports .

The comprehensive construction work not only improves traffic quality; Public transport is also normalized by the restoration of tram lines 1 and 6 from December 20th. The Haydnplatz, Mühlauer Brücke and Claudiaplatz stops are then served again. In the following year, however, even smaller remaining work on the road is planned, while at the same time in the southern part of the Archdow-Eugen-Straße, drainage work will be continued from February 2025

The Archduke-Eugen-Straße is not only important in the present. Historically, the street is a place that is also linked to Innsbruck's Jewish history. Especially the fate of the family of Rabbi Dr. Josef Link, who lived there, throws a light on the dark chapters of the past. The family had to flee from persecution during the November pogrom in 1938, which illustrates the tragic events of that time. These findings are important to understand the cultural and social roots of the city, which is also emphasized by Novemberpogrom1938.at .
