"Traffic jam trap" Liezen

Hotspot Ennstal: these are the new road plans

This visualization shows Niederhofen in the municipality of Stainach-Pürgg and the building plot to the left of the church, which is intended for the Liezen lead hospital. The planned road structures, including a new bridge over the railroad line leading to the hospital, can also be seen for the first time.

In 2018, SPÖ traffic officer Anton Lang unveiled a package of measures designed to take the "poison teeth" out of the accident-prone B320 between Liezen and Schladming. Now he presents an interim project status to the "Krone" and reveals how things are progressing in Liezen and which road constructions are planned for the main hospital. 

Six months ago, the state's transport department and the town of Liezen buried the bypass, which had been the subject of heated debate for decades - a drumbeat that was heard throughout the region. The congestion-plagued district town will therefore be relieved by an "existing solution" on the Ennstalstraße. Further measures on the B320 in the direction of Schladming should ensure greater safety and the term "road of death", so unloved by the people of Ennstal, should soon be a thing of the past.
