Reschenstraße: Dimensionable again - construction site goes during the winter break!

B 180 Reschenstraße, 6523 Nauders, Österreich - The B 180 Reschenstraße will be released for traffic from Thursday, December 21, 2024, two days earlier than originally planned. Cheap weather conditions and the rapid construction progress have made this positive development possible. The finishing touch, which is now carried out, includes asphalting work that prepares the street for unrestricted use during the 2024/25 winter season. The good news comes in time, since Reschenstraße is a central traffic artery between Pfunds and Nauders, which is also of great importance for public transport, as tirol.at reported.

Start of construction work and upcoming closures

The preparatory work for the pulpit gallery, a 403 -meter -long protective construction, began in August 2024 to counter the challenges of the rocky and steep terrain. As early as March 10, 2025, however, a renewed closure of the street is planned, which will last until May 2, 2025. After that, the traffic is led by the construction site area for a long time with traffic light control until the pulpit gallery is completed at the end of 2026, such as tirol.gv.at emphasized.

In order to ensure security on the B 180, extensive securing work has been carried out on the rock walls in recent months. Among other things, this includes the installation of new stone strap protection measures to ensure the safety of road users. The pulpit gallery will not only consist of robust reinforced concrete, but also equipped with special measures to ward off future natural hazards. The total costs for this large construction project amount to around 40 million euros.
