📋 Tender Overview
The work on two cycle path bridges and the renovation of the Fenetzbach bridge have recently been completed. On the state road L 8156 in the municipality of Waldkirchen an der Thaya two cycle path bridges were built over the state road L 8156 as part of the main tourist cycle route Thayarunde and the bridge over the Fenetzbach was renovated.Mobility Councilor Ludwig Schleritzko said The safety of cycle path users is important to us. With the construction of the cycle path bridges over the state road L 8156 in Gilgenberg traffic safety has been significantly increased. The Thayarunde cycle path runs largely on the former railway lines Waidhofen Thaya-Slavonice and Gpfritz Wild-Raabs Thaya. Until now cyclists had to pedal along the L 8156 state road for around 1.1 km when using the cycle path in Gilgenberg. The Thaya circuit was originally laid here due to the almost parallel course on the state road. Due to the pleasantly high frequency of cyclists and some related conflicts of use it made sense to relocate the Thaya circuit in the Gilgenberg area to the former railway line what happened with the two new bridges and the asphalting in 2020. The two old bridge structures made of steel were in the 90s because of the insufficient clearance height of around. 3.50 m away.The total costs including road construction amounting to around 290000 euros are pre-financed by the Zukunftsraum Thayaland association and funded by the state of Lower Austria.For reasons of synergy the nearby bridge L 8156.04 over the Fenetzbach was renovated as part of the L 8156. The entire construction work was carried out by the state of Lower Austria at a cost of around 35000 euros and carried out by the Zwettl bridge maintenance company over a period of six weeks.
