The Innsbruckerstraße ( B 174 ) is a country road in Austria and is located in the city of Innsbruck . It runs from the Innsbruck-Ost junction of the Inntal motorway (A 12) to the connection to the B 171 in the Höttinger Au over a length of 5.2 km.

Innsbrucker Straße begins at the Innsbruck-Ost motorway junction and runs in an east-west direction through Amras and Pradl . On the 287 m long Olympic Bridge, it crosses the Sill and the tracks of the main train station . It then leads through Wilten , where the Brennerstrasse (B 182) branches off to the south. At the level of the Westbahnhof  , it turns north-west, crosses the Innrain (L 11 Völser Straße), crosses the Inn on the Freiburg bridge and leads through the Höttinger Au until it joins the B 171.

From east to west it is called Amraser-See-Straße - Burgenlandstraße - Olympiastraße - Olympiabrücke - Graßmayrstraße - Anton-Melzer-Straße - Egger-Lienz-Straße - Holzhammerstraße - Freiburg Bridge - Bachlechnerstraße . The B 174 is also called Südring because it crosses the built-up urban area on the southern edge, although it is more of a tangent . At night, the Südring is known as the Innsbruck street prostitute.

history

As the centerpiece of the east-west connection, the Olympic bridge built for the 1964 Winter Olympics was opened on January 3, 1964 . As a result, the connecting lines were expanded, at the beginning of the 1980s the Freiburg Bridge was built and the road into the Höttinger Au was extended. For the expansion of the southern ring, the southwest corner of the Westfriedhof was cut off in 1981 , for which numerous graves of the Jewish sector had to be abandoned or reburied.

According to unrealized plans from the 1970s, the B 174 should branch off from the B 171 at Rumer Hof in Rum and be led over a new Inn bridge to Rossau and the Südring. According to these plans, the Freiburg Bridge was planned as a 320 m long high bridge that would have crossed not only the Inn, but also the Innrain and Fischnalerstraße.

In 2006 the southern ring near the ice rink was moved to a 440 m long underpass and the above-ground crossing with the Mittelgebirgsstraße (L 9) was designed as a roundabout. The Olympiabrücke was also widened to four lanes, removing the sidewalks on both sides, and a new bridge was built south of the existing bridge for pedestrians and cyclists.

Innsbrucker Straße has been part of the network of federal highways in Austria since January 1st, 1973 .

traffic

The B 174 is one of the busiest streets in Innsbruck. It is an important connection to and from the Innsbruck West, Central and East junctions of the Inntal motorway. In 2016, an average of 43,072 vehicles were counted per day. Apart from the underpass at the ice rink, it has been expanded to four lanes throughout.

The Südring is mostly used by line T of the IVB , in shorter sections also by other bus lines. The tram (Line 1 and Stubaitalbahn ) runs from the Westbahnhof to Fritz-Konzert-Straße on its own track in the middle of the street.

expansion

The next neuralgic points of this street to be expanded are the so-called Graßmayrkreuzung (confluence of Südbahnstraße and Leopoldstraße / B 182 Brennerstraße into B 174; the name is derived from the Grassmayr bell foundry located there ) and the crossings of the B 174 with Tschamlerstrasse / Fritz-Konzert-Strasse and Neuhauserstrasse. The aim of the renovation work here is also to guide the through traffic running in an east-west direction from Egger-Lienz-Straße to the Olympiabrücke without crossing over an extension length of 638 m and also to Südbahnstraße and thus the city center also to be connected to the south ring for the direction of travel to the east. This significantly increases performance in this area and at the same time reduces noise emissions. The length of the necessary tunneling under the B 174 is 286 m. A date for the start of construction has not yet been set.
