The construction of the bridge will start in next year and is slated to complete in 2022.

ÖBB has announced that it has invested €5m. With the construction of the bridge, two railroad crossings will be removed.

ÖBB-Infrastruktur Board director Franz Bauer said: “Through the bridge, we can leave two railroad crossings and thus further increase traffic safety. The safety of the employees on our construction sites is particularly important to us.

“That is why ÖBB-Infrastruktur undertakes together with contracting partners make every effort to protect the health of the employees working on the construction site in the best possible way when performing their tasks and to continue construction projects in the public interest.”
