Linz's Prinz-Eugen-Straße forms an east-west connection from Industriezeile via Goethestraße to the Bahnhofsviertel. At the same time, the junction forms an important intersection for industry and commuter traffic and serves as an access route to the city's hospitals. The Mühlkreisautobahn overpass there will be renovated over the next few months. 

The bridge over the A 7 at the Prinz-Eugen-Straße junction has reached the end of its service life after more than 55 years of continuous use and will therefore be extensively renovated from April 28 to September 26 - with a complete closure to motorized private traffic. However, it is important to note that the on and off ramps of the highway will remain open during this time. During this period, motorized private traffic will only be allowed to turn right in the entire intersection area.

An additional lane
Work will begin as early as April 14 (until April 27) at the Derfflingerstrasse/Industriezeile junction, where an additional lane will be created. This measure is intended to increase the efficiency of the junction and strengthen Derfflingerstrasse as an important bypass route during the months-long bridge closure.
