Construction site S 31: milestone in valley crossings for more traffic safety

In Oberpullendorf, a lot is happening in the area of ​​the traffic infrastructure. A crucial step in the safety expansion of the S 31 Burgenland Schnellstraße was recently carried out with the new construction of the valley crossings at Sieggraben for the directional lane to Oberpullendorf. The BVZ is erected that reach four new bridges, the lengths of up to 470 meters and their pillars up to 56 meters high become.

An innovative approach to construction is the separation of the directional roadways in order to significantly reduce frontal accidents and thus increase traffic safety. This project is considered great progress for the region and is all about reducing accidents and traffic jams on the strongly frequented route.

technological progress and innovation approach

The last big milestone was reached last Monday with the Sieggraben valley crossing. The so -called cycle slide procedure is used here, which allows bridge production without additional supporting load design constructions. The bridge is encouraged, among other things, through the use of hydraulic presses and sliding bearings. This innovative technology is particularly efficient by those responsible, as managing director of ASFINAG BAU Management GmbH, Andreas Fromm emphasizes.

The entire construction project is carried out in the alliance process, a partnership -based contract model in construction. This procedure aims to reduce costs and to improve the quality and efficiency of the project implementation. Hubers Wetschnig, CEO of the Habau Group, refers to the project as a milestone in the infrastructure expansion of Austria, which will not only have great importance but also nationally.

sustainability in bridge construction

But not only the technical side is important. The ecological aspects also play a major role. Dr. In an interview, Michael Kleiser explains that bridge construction is currently at a turning point due to climate change and technical innovations. In his explanations, he gives an insight into the need to rethink the art of bridge in order to meet the challenges of the future. As reported at Concrete-ly , findings from pilot projects are to be transferred throughout the sector.

A mandatory ecological balance tool at ASFINAG not only promotes material efficiency, but also aims at significant CO2 savings. This tool uses data from different industries - from wood to asphalt to steel and concrete - to make the construction sustainable. The aim is to meet the requirements for sustainability and innovation while the safety and quality of the buildings are guaranteed at the same time.

Overall, it can be seen that the project is not only for Oberpullendorf, but for the entire region and beyond. The progress in the direction of a safe, modern and environmentally friendly traffic infrastructure is being pursued with excitement, and the completion of the construction site is planned for 2026. At ORF Burgenland there is further information about the developments.
