course

Haller Straße begins as a continuation of Hohen Weg at Mühlauer Brücke ( ⊙ ) and initially leads along the left bank of the Inn in a south-east direction. At the Grenobler Bridge it swings to the northeast and runs north of the Olympic Village to the city limits ( ⊙ ). From there it continues as a federal road through Rum to the eponymous Hall in Tirol . It runs through the districts of Mühlau and the Mühlau / Arzl industrial park and touches the Olympic Village.

history

Haller Straße in Mühlau with the local railway line (1972)

The old connection from Innsbruck to Hall ran from the Mühlauer Bridge over the MARTHA villages on the slope of the Nordkette . Archduke Ferdinand II had the new road built through the undeveloped Haller Au on the valley floor from 1585 to 1589 . At the same time he donated the Loretto Chapel in the Au and had a pilgrimage route laid out through the fields north of the road, which was lined with 15 wayside shrines. Under Empress Maria Theresa , the wayside shrines were moved to today's street and later moved again and again as the street was expanded. The picture panels were redesigned in the 20th century with depictions of the secrets of the rosary .

In 1891 the local railway Innsbruck – Hall in Tirol was opened, which ran on its own track on the south side of Haller Straße.

Until the incorporation of Mühlaus in 1938, the western part was called Andreas-Hofer-Straße . Since there was already a street of the same name in Innsbruck, it was renamed.

In preparation for the 1976 Winter Olympics , the intersection of Haller Strasse with Grenobler Bridge, Schützenstrasse and Schusterbergweg was extensively rebuilt to ensure smooth traffic from the Olympic Village to the sports facilities. For the traffic leading out of town, a 512 m long high bridge with ramps was built over the crossing area. The cost of the entire project was 65 million schillings , of which the federal government took over 25 million. Since it was not possible to run the tram over the high bridge and the road was to be widened at the expense of the track, the Haller Bahn was discontinued in June 1974 and replaced by a bus line.

traffic

Haller Straße is part of Tiroler Straße B 171 and the most important arterial road to the east. It has been extended to four lanes throughout and in the area between the railway bridge and Grenobler bridge is partially provided with a wide, greened or built-up median strip. The Haller Straße high bridge was originally accessible with two lanes out of town and has been used for traffic in both directions with one lane each since 2006.

Since the discontinuation of the local railway (line 4), the entire length of the street has been traversed by bus line 4 (today 504).

In 2018, an average of 19,765 vehicles were counted per day. In 2018, an average of 970 cyclists per day used the parallel cycle path between the street and the Inn, and 2150 cyclists were counted on the peak day.
