Construction site chaos on the B 320: Drivers have to prove patience!

Oberhaus, Österreich - The drivers on the B 320 in Oberhaus have to be patient in the coming months.

The total cost of the project amounts to 1.1 million euros, such as meinbezirk.at

The renovation is carried out in several steps, starting with the bridge objects. The Fuchsbach Bridge, which is almost ten meters long, comes first. The structural seal and the roadway are renewed here. One lane per direction remains open during the work so as not to bring traffic to a complete standstill.

It receives a reinforcement of the structure, which is widened at the same time, as well as a renewal of edge beams, drainage and road.
