Landscape tunnel Meuschaer Höhe
The Meuschaer Höhe landscape tunnel is a 90 m long structure on the A 17 and is located in the northern part of the Eastern Ore Mountains in Saxony . It was completed in 2005.
location
The tunnel is located in the Meuscha desert of the same name at 155 m above sea level. NN near the places Dohna and Heidenau . The useful width, i.e. the tunnel length, is 90 m, the tube span is 2 × 14 m, i.e. 28 m. The construction thickness is approx. 0.70 m, the cover is 1 to 3 m high. The “Am Robisch” path leads over the tunnel.
Establishment
The landscape tunnel was built in reinforced concrete in 2005 using the open construction method and has the three-part, light-space-spanning cage arch as a tube cross-section. The bridge class is 30/30 according to DIN 1072. DEGES GmbH was the client for the construction . The intersecting farm roads "Alte Poststraße" and "Meuschaer Höhe" have been swiveled in their ground plan. This made it possible to cross over on the same terrain in the area of the landscape tunnel and to do without additional bridge structures. Natural lighting and ventilation is facilitated by a large cross-section.
purpose
Due to the fact that the A 17 motorway cuts through the “Meuschaer Höhe” nature reserve, it was necessary for nature conservation in general and species migration in particular to create a suitable passage. The green bridge over the landscape tunnel enables species migration in this area. The tunnel also serves to protect Meuschaer Höhe from nitrogen oxide emissions from motor vehicles on the A 17 motorway.
