Starting January 1, 2025, work
will begin to renovate the Lueg Bridge on the Brenner Motorway
A13 in Tyrol. From that moment, local authorities will limit
traffic on that motorway section to a single lane in both
directions until the end of 2027. "This is alarming transporters
all over Europe," reports Innsbruck's Tiroler Tageszeitung (Tt).
The nighttime traffic ban is now facing a united front of
opposition from Bavaria and Italy. The Tt reports that the ban
is under increasing pressure, as Bavarian transporters, in
collaboration with their Italian counterparts, are now openly
challenging this restriction.
Meanwhile, the motorway operator Asfinag is set to announce
the measures it plans to implement by September to alleviate the
expected traffic congestion due to the Lueg Bridge's partial
closure. These measures may include additional truck
restrictions, load limits, and a quota for heavy vehicles per
hour.
