📋 Tender Overview
A bypass for smoother and more sustainable local traffic Hesperange and its surroundings have suffered for too long: 20,000 vehicles pass through its residential neighborhoods every day. Thanks to the Alzingen bypass, included in the PNM 2035, this transit traffic will be transferred from the N3 to the future bypass - and this bottleneck will finally belong to the past, underlined Yuriko Backes, Minister of Mobility and Transport. Public works. By redirecting part of the regional traffic via this bypass, it will be possible to reduce traffic within the locality and free up public space for the benefit of sustainable modes of mobility. Modal filters as well as the development of a shared space will help to further calm the center of Hesperange, while these measures will encourage public transport, cycling and walking. The agreement of the government in council makes it possible to launch the legislative procedure. The provisional schedule provides for the adoption of the financing law and the finalization of studies, followed by land acquisitions, technical analyzes and obtaining the necessary authorizations. The environmental and renaturation component, central to the project, involves rigorous and supervised procedures, as well as the progressive implementation of compensatory measures and specific works, the expected completion of which in 2032 constitutes a prerequisite for the effective launch of large-scale work on the bypass in sensitive areas. The end of work on the bypass is scheduled for the end of 2037. A project accompanied by environmental requirements The bypass project is part of a strongly regulated framework from an environmental point of view. It is notably conditioned by the implementation of two essential measures: the adaptation of the national protection zone Reiserbann and the renaturation of the Alzette as well as its tributaries. The latter will have to intervene upstream of the work in the Alzette valley. It involves the creation of habitats favorable to reproduction, rest and feeding, in particular for species in the Natura 2000 protected area Upper Alzette Valley (LU0002007), as well as appropriate management of surfaces after renaturation. The amount of the bill amounts to 390 million euros.
