Course of the road
|
The Ellbögener road ( L 38 ) is a country road in Tirol . It leads from Ampass in the Inn valley over the southeast low mountain range and Ellbögen to Mühlbachl in the Wipptal and is 22.6 km long.
course
Ellbögener Straße begins in Hhäusern (municipality of Ampass) at the Hall-Mitte junction of the Inntal motorway (exit from Innsbruck) as an extension of the B 171a . It leads over Ampass , Aldrans and Lans and for around 1.6 km through Innsbruck's municipal area ( Igls district ). From Patsch it runs on the eastern slope of the Wipptal through St. Peter and other places in the municipality of Ellbögen to Pfons . In the Old Town it crosses the sill and opens into Mühlbachl on the municipal boundary to Matrei at the burner in the burner line (B 182).
history
The Ellbögener Straße follows an old connection from the Inn valley to the Brenner , which was already used in prehistoric times. Archaeological finds suggest that a road may have existed as early as Roman times . Remnants of track roads with pre-chiseled driving grooves, which were exposed in Ampass, Aldrans and St. Peter, among others, probably date from the Middle Ages .
When salt mining began in Halltal in the 13th century , the route developed into the Salt Road , on which Hall salt was transported over the Brenner to Italy and wine on the way back. Pack animals or carts were used for transport . The construction of the Haller Innbrücke in the 14th century caused a further upswing, so that not only salt but also other goods were transported on this road, which was considerably shorter than the connection via Innsbruck and Schönberg (today's Brennerstraße ). Since Innsbruck was bypassed and customs revenue was lost, it was given the right to collect the small customs at the Haller Inn Bridge in 1372. Numerous trades that were important for traffic, such as saddlers , blacksmiths and taverns , settled along the Salzstraße and ensured an economic upswing in the towns on the street.
With the construction of the Brennerstraße from 1836 to 1844 and the opening of the Brennerbahn in 1867, the street over Ellbögen lost its importance.
With the federal law of July 8, 1921, Ellbögener Strasse was declared a federal road and from 1949 was designated as the B 184. On September 1, 1971, it was closed as a federal road and continued as a state road.
Originally, the L 38 ran through the center of Ampass with a narrow road layout and a steep climb. From 2013 to 2014, the street was immediately rebuilt to the north of the town center and connected with a roundabout to Ampasser Straße (L 283) leading from Amras .
From 2015 to 2017 the road in the area between Walzn and Erlach was expanded to the minimum width of 5.50 m provided for state roads.
The first plans for the Brenner autobahn also provided for a route over Elbögen.
traffic
Today the road is of only local importance for the development of the low mountain range and the Elbogen. In 2018, the Aldrans counting station counted an average of 5704 vehicles in 24 hours.
