📋 Tender Overview
In the municipality of Loich the state road L 5227 crosses the Loichbach north of the Hammermhle inn with a single-span plate structure from 1976. The existing bridge has a clear width of 4.45 meters the narrow curve radii of the state road L 5227 in the bridge area no longer correspond todays traffic requirements.In order to guarantee road safety the 4530 bridge objects on our state roads are also checked and maintained or like here at Loich where the bridge over the Loichbach had to be rebuilt as part of the state road L 5227 says Mobility Councilor Ludwig Schleritzko was recently convinced of the status of the construction work. Thanks to the willingness of the property owners the construction project can now be implemented after planning and water permits have been carried out.In the course of the construction work the state road L 5227 was relocated to the south over a length of around 120 meters and the creek bed was relocated over a length of around 75 meters. The new single-span plate support structure will be erected immediately west of the existing property with a clear width of five meters that is larger than that of the existing structure and a slightly increased flow height. A railing is mounted on both sides to prevent falls.In the immediate area of the bridge object the river bed and the bank areas are to be secured by means of armor stones. The converted streambed is designed with a width of three meters based on the existing structure. The existing municipal roads or paths that are in the project area will be adapted to the new conditions. Finally the road surfaces that are no longer required are recultivated. The construction work is carried out by the St. Plten bridge maintenance department and the Kirchberg an der Pielach road maintenance department with regional construction and delivery companies from the region. Completion is expected in October 2021 depending on the weather-related construction progress. The total construction costs amount to around 220000 euros and are entirely borne by the state of Lower Austria.
