Start mid-March

Things are getting serious on the A2 near Gleisdorf: from mid-March, four kilometers of the carriageway will be completely resurfaced. As part of this, a bus stop will be built directly on the highway for the first time.

The project starts next Monday. As before, there will be two lanes in each direction between Gleisdorf West and South, but with narrower traffic guidance and a speed limit of 80 km/h. The lane towards Graz will be the first to be resurfaced, followed next year by the lane towards Vienna.

New deceleration lane to minimize dangerous traffic jams
Not only will the Gleisdorf South junction in the direction of Vienna be redesigned, where the deceleration lane will be aligned for greater road safety, but above all the ÖVAS pilot project, which is unique in Austria and is being tackled at the same time.

Completion 2027
A directly accessible stop for express buses will be set up on both sides of the highway. Asfinag hopes that this will be within walking distance of Gleisdorf railroad station, ensuring a connection to public transport and thus making the express bus service even more attractive. For example, it will allow scheduled buses between Fürstenfeld and Graz to pass through the automated barrier system and passengers to board and alight. Completion is scheduled for the beginning of 2027.
