Four-lane expansion in Bruck an der Mur

Bruck an der Mur, new Mur bridge ("Brucker Harfe") from the south

Due to the high volume of traffic and the extremely desolate condition of the high bridge, the demolition and then the four-lane, ground-level new construction began in June 2010. During the entire construction period, heavy traffic was diverted over a replacement bridge over the Mur in the east. The expansion includes a 2-lane roundabout with a feeder to the S35 / S6 motorway junction and a new bridge over the Mur, known as the Brucker Harfe . The expansion connects to the 4-lane section Wienerstraße / Kapfenberg-Grazerstrasse in the north. The opening took place on October 8, 2012. The cost of the 1.4 kilometer stretch of road was projected to be 19 million euros.
