FAQ Construction work on Reschenstrasse
with local detour
No restrictions in the 2024/25 winter season
The Kanzelgalerie on the B 180 Reschenstraße between Pfunds and Nauders is one of the largest construction projects in Tyrol and serves to protect against falling rocks and other natural hazards. A 400-metre-long protective structure made of solid reinforced concrete ensures safe traffic routing on this important connection. During the construction work, however, there will be temporary traffic disruptions, which will be regulated by detour or temporary closures. In this FAQ you will find all the important information on traffic routing and the planned construction phases.
- Until December 19, 2024: Full closure of the B 180 Reschenstraße between Pfunds and Nauders.
- From December 19, 2024 to March 9, 2025: winter season, two lanes open to traffic without restrictions. Local public transport (bus lines 210 and 273) serves all stops again.
- From March 10 to May 2, 2025: Full closure again. Detour via Engadiner Straße (CH) and Martinsbrucker Straße (A). This detour will only lead to a delay of around 10 minutes, so that the flow of traffic remains largely unimpeded.
- From May 2025: Single-lane traffic management with traffic lights across the construction site until fall 2026. Temporary closures are possible and will be announced in good time.
- Fall 2026: Completion of construction work with single-lane traffic management.
- September to November 2026: Further closures (daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.) for expansion and asphalting work.
- December 2026: Completion of the Pulpit Gallery.
