📋 Tender Overview
The creation of a construction project will be initiated immediatelyGraz (December 19, 2025).- This is probably a premature Christmas: The environmental impact assessment has been completed and the responsible EIA authority in Department 13 (Environment and Spatial Planning) has published a 445-page positive decision to Department 16 (Traffic and State Building) on the B 70 new road construction project between Mooskirchen and Krottendorf. State Transport Councilor Claudia Holzer: This is a further, decisive step towards the realization of the construction project, which is so important for Western Styria. The transport department will now immediately initiate the creation of a construction project. This ensures that no time is lost and the construction project can be advertised at the push of a button if the positive decision is confirmed by the next authority and then becomes legally binding. After the relevant announcements, it is to be expected that a complaint against the decision will be lodged with the Federal Administrative Court. With around 19,000 motor vehicles within 24 hours on weekdays, the B 70 in the section between Mooskirchen and Krottendorf is one of the busiest roads in the Graz area. The planned bypass between Mooskirchen and Krottendorf, the Kainachnahe route, is the missing gap for a continuous, efficient expansion of the B 70 from Koflach to the Mooskirchen motorway junction and represents an efficient road connection to the A2 in the direction of Graz/Vienna/Klagenfurt for supra-regional traffic from the Voitsberg district o.H., the KG Koppling and the KG Pichling near Mooskirchen are massively relieved of individual motorized traffic. If a complaint is lodged against the positive decision, construction is expected to begin in 2028 at the earliest. If no complaint is lodged, we will start construction in 2027. We are assuming a construction period of three years, says project manager Monika Hofer from Department 16 (Traffic and State Building). Graz, December 19, 2025
