Tschiertscherstrasse
The Tschiertscherstrasse is a main road in Grisons that the Araschgerrank at Chur until after Tschiertschen in Schanfigg runs. It was created between 1888 and 1894 and is classified as a side street . The original width was 2.8 m. The construction costs amounted to 115,174 francs or 13,500 francs per kilometer.
Over the total length of 6 km, the road passes 700 meters in altitude and geologically particularly difficult terrain that is prone to slipping. This repeatedly led to road closures, especially in spring and autumn, which cut Tschiertschen and Praden off from the outside world or made them only accessible from Molinis via a forest road .
On July 1, 1925, a summer post bus connection between Chur and Tschiertschen was put into operation, which was converted into a year-round timetable in 1929.
Around 1950 the ACS installed two emergency telephones at the Grida junction and at the Steinbachtobel . The two devices existed until the beginning of the new millennium.
Extensive buildings in the Steinbachtobel, which is particularly endangered with a displacement of 200 mm per year, were tackled in 1965 and were completed in 2009 with the completion of a bridge construction separated from the slope.
Tschiertscherstrasse is thus one of the longest continuously restored traffic routes in the canton of Graubünden.
