No way to Tyrol
Roadway on the Arlberg Pass washed away
Heavy rain caused a mudslide on the Arlberg on Thursday evening. Parts of the road link from Vorarlberg to Tyrol were torn away. The road cannot be used for the time being.
At around 7 p.m. on Thursday, a mudslide thundered over the Arlberg Pass on the Vorarlberg side. The road was heavily washed out and the lane in the direction of Tyrol was destroyed. The lane in the direction of Bludenz remained open due to the retaining wall underneath and is therefore being used for the clean-up and evacuation work.
On Friday morning, the state geologists inspected the situation. The Arlberg Pass road remains closed to all traffic for the time being. A large-scale bypass to Tyrol is only possible via the Lechtal valley or via Germany.
On Thursday, around 50 vehicles that were still on the road were directed to Vorarlberg by the emergency crews. Three houses in Stuben also had to be evacuated. And in St. Christoph on the Tyrolean side, the heavy rainfall also caused major damage. The clean-up work there is in full swing. Just a few days ago, a mudslide hit the Silvretta High Alpine Road, which is also currently unusable.
