Due to storms
Wagrainer Straße has to be closed for 14 days
St. Johann was hit hard by the storms on Tuesday night. The B163 (Wagrainer Straße) was washed out and must therefore be closed for two weeks. A single-lane solution is being worked on.
Thunderstorms led to mudslides on the B163 (Wagrainer Straße) over a length of around one kilometer on Tuesday night. The road connection was partially washed out due to the heavy rainfall. As a result, the road link in Pongau is completely closed between St. Johann and Wagrain. According to the Pongau district authority, the clean-up work will take at least two weeks. The only alternative route is via the A10, the Tauern highway. As things stand at present, no people were injured in the mudslide.
"The road is mired over a length of around one kilometer. It was partially washed away by the Wagrainer Ache. The B163 will therefore be closed for at least two weeks for clean-up work and safety reasons. A one-lane solution is being worked on at full speed, but it is not yet clear when this will be possible," says Pongau disaster control officer Michael Rachensperger.
"But it wasn't just the B163 that was affected during the night, the Grossarl state road and the B311 between Schwarzach and Lend also had to be repeatedly closed at short notice. The road maintenance staff and private companies are working flat out to repair the damage. Now all the torrent barriers have to be dredged free so that they can absorb material again in the next possible thunderstorm," explains Rachensperger.
