📋 Tender Overview
Instead of a temporary replacement bridge, a permanent solution is now availableAt 6.4 meters long, the Platschbach Bridge on the L 388 Sankt Justina Strasse (Assling municipality) is one of the smaller bridges, but its importance is nevertheless great - after all, Sankt Justina Strasse is an important connection to the Pustertal High Road and thus for accessibility to the municipalities of Assling and Anras. Accordingly, work was underway at full speed to rebuild the bridge destroyed by a mudslide in order to restore the connection. The construction of the new bridge has now been completed. This means that the L 388 can be reopened to traffic in both directions from Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at 12 noon. The aim of the state road construction administration is to ensure safe access to all parts of the state all year round. With the completion of the Platschbach Bridge, this is once again permanently guaranteed here, says LHStv Josef Geisler, pleased with the successful restoration of the traffic connection.A massive mudslide completely destroyed the Platschbach Bridge in August 2023. A temporary replacement bridge was built within a few weeks.
This meant we were able to reopen the road to traffic quickly. Starting in September of this year, we then dismantled the temporary replacement bridge and replaced it with a permanent solution. This necessary construction measure was only possible with a total closure. After the bridge is opened on December 13, any remaining work - including the greening - will be completed by May 2025. There will probably be no further traffic restrictions, explains Johannes Nemmert, head of the Lienz building district office.
