The Kremstal Straße B 139 is a state road in Austria in the state of Upper Austria . It runs from Linz to Rohr im Kremstal . A large part of the route is in the Kremstal , which is also what gave it its name.
history
The Linz-Kremsmünsterer Bezirksstrasse has been known as Kremstalstrasse since 1932 . In a different spelling, Kremstal Straße belonged to the network of federal highways in Austria from January 1, 1950 to 2002 .
Originally, the Kremstal Straße started at the Union crossing on the former B 129 (Passauer Straße) - Unionstraße - Welser Straße - Trauner Kreuzung - Traun Hauptplatz - old Trauner Traunbrücke - Haid etc.
After the construction of the West Bridge, the Waldeggstraße traffic spider and the Römerberg Tunnel, which was completed in 1967, the B 139 was transferred to today's Linz road, the so-called West Tangent. In the course of this, the tram line M , which used parts of Waldeggstrasse, was abandoned and replaced by buses.
Since December 1, 1973, the Kremstal Straße no longer ends in Kremsmünster , but in Rohr im Kremstal . The previous route between Zehethof and Kremsmünster was downgraded to a state road.

Traffic problem
Since around 1990 a large number of trading companies have settled along the B 139 within a few kilometers between the Harter Plateau industrial park in Leonding and the Haid Center in Ansfelden. The three large shopping centers ( PlusCity , Haid Center and UNO Shopping ) as well as a large number of other retail outlets caused a rush of traffic by car, which the two-lane road in this section could hardly handle. The quality of the bidirectional cycle path and sidewalk on the west side of the street is impaired by noise barriers, road connections, especially to shopping centers, and increasing traffic congestion (VLSA).
In the residential area between the B 139 and B 1 with the Leondingen districts of Doppl and Hart and the Pasching district of Langholzfeld , a “general driving ban except for residents” was issued around 1988 against cars avoiding the traffic jams on the B 139. This also carelessly deprived part of the gentle cycle traffic. It was only after about five years that the need of quiet cycling for quiet and short-cut driving options was taken into account by extending the exception to the driving ban to include cyclists.
Bypass
The new construction and expansion of Kremstal Strasse in this area brought relief. Between the Ritzlhof ( Ansfelden municipality ) and the UNO Shopping in Leonding, a new route was laid a little to the west, parallel to the existing one.
Leonding
In the municipality of Leonding, from the city limits of Linz to UNO Shopping , the existing B139 has already been expanded to four lanes. A green strip was left free in the middle, on which tram line 3 has been running since August 2011 and line 4 since September 2016. The two new lanes were originally designed as bus lanes and were only allowed to be used by public buses and taxis, but were released for private transport after the tram went into operation.
Neuhofen
In Neuhofen, too, the B 139 could be moved from the municipality to a bypass. For this purpose, a feasibility study and a variant assessment was carried out in 2005; no construction was carried out until the end of 2014.
