"Traffic jam trap" Liezen

Hotspot Ennstal: these are the new road plans

In 2018, SPÖ traffic officer Anton Lang unveiled a package of measures designed to take the "poison teeth" out of the accident-prone B320 between Liezen and Schladming. Now he presents an interim project status to the "Krone" and reveals how things are progressing in Liezen and which road constructions are planned for the main hospital. 

Six months ago, the state's transport department and the town of Liezen buried the bypass, which had been the subject of heated debate for decades - a drumbeat that was heard throughout the region. The congestion-plagued district town will therefore be relieved by an "existing solution" on the Ennstalstraße. Further measures on the B320 in the direction of Schladming should ensure greater safety and the term "road of death", so unloved by the people of Ennstal, should soon be a thing of the past.
