The St. Pölten bridge in Krems provides as part of Kremserstraße the connection from the town of Krems in the direction of about eight kilometers south of the Danube crossing situated Kremser expressway S 33 after St. Poelten ago. The bridge was completed in 1971.

history

The road from Krems via Loiwein , Brunn and Marbach to Rastenberg is one of the 17 roads that were declared Lower Austrian state roads in 1866. A toll has been levied on this road since July 15, 1861.

The Krems-Waidhofener Straße has belonged to the network of federal highways in Austria since April 1, 1948 . It originally led through the Kremstal via Brunn am Wald , Zwettl and Vitis to Waidhofen an der Thaya . The section between Zwettl and Waidhofen has been known as Zwettler Strasse since 1971, and the B 37 has ended in Rastenfeld ever since. In 2002 all previous federal highways B were transferred to the state administrations.

With the opening of the Danube bridge Traismauer at the end of October 2010, the section Traismauer – Krems-Süd junction of the Kremser expressway S 33 was abandoned as an expressway and part of the Kremser Straße B 37.
