Map with all coordinates: The 5851 meter long Strenger Tunnel (not Strengener Tunnel, which is a typical mistake) is a two-tube tunnel on the S16 Arlberg expressway and was the last construction section of this expressway. It serves as a bypass for the municipality of Strengen am Arlberg , through which all heavy traffic between Vorarlberg and Tyrol rolled through until the tunnel was completed .
The tunnel was built according to the New Austrian Tunneling Method . The opening to traffic for both tubes was planned for December 2005, but was delayed after the flood event on 22/23. August 2005 : The Rosanna had washed away both parts of the B171 and the Arlbergbahn , so that the road and rail connections between Tyrol and Vorarlberg were interrupted. In the period that followed, the southern tube was provisionally completed in order to restore the connection, at least for the time being. The north tube was opened to traffic on December 16, 2005 and initially operated with two-way traffic, while construction work on the south tube continued. On June 2, 2006, the south tube was opened to traffic.
