📋 Tender Overview
In Seebach, the B 96 is now passable without any obstructions. Work on the Rantenbach Bridge has been completed in Graz (December 2, 2025). - For half a year, traffic in the municipality of Ranten (localty of Seebach) on the B 96 (Murtalstrasse) was stopped alternately due to work on the 72-year-old Rantenbach Bridge, but the work has now been completed as planned. State Transport Councilor Claudia Holzer: The B 96 is now passable again in this section without any obstructions. Due to the measures implemented, which largely resembled a new construction, the Rantenbach Bridge is fit for the next decades. The total costs amount to around 1.4 million euros, with the municipality contributing around 200,000 euros. I would like to thank the construction company Strabag AG, project manager Gerhard Hartmann from the A16, Philipp Stolz from the Obersteiermark West building district management and everyone involved for the professional work, adherence to costs and construction time. The existing supporting structure and the edge beams were completely demolished and replaced with a new supporting structure. As part of the renovation, a new sidewalk was built on the two-meter-wide edge beam on the side of the stream, and the roadway was widened from five to six meters. Project manager Hartmann: In addition, the confusing summit was defused by lowering the new supporting structure, the existing abutments on the side of the stream were extended and reinforced with piles, and concrete damage was repaired. In the end, the bridge is now 75 percent new. The roadway was renovated over a length of 270 meters, as were the existing sidewalks, which were also lengthened. As part of the construction project, three bus stops that were designed as roadside stops were also built. Graz, December 2, 2025
