Drivers on the Linz City Expressway should expect nighttime restrictions in the coming weeks. In the Bindermichl Tunnel and the Niedernhart tunnel section, ASFINAG is replacing the entrance lighting and switching to LED technology. Work will begin Monday night and is expected to last until the end of October.

Work will take place between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. At least one lane in each tunnel tube will be closed during this time. Both directions of travel are affected—both toward Prague and Freistadt, as well as toward the A1, Vienna, and Salzburg. Some entrance ramps will also be temporarily closed for several nights.

In operation for about 20 years
Asfinag does not expect major traffic disruptions due to the nighttime work. Some of the existing lighting has been in operation for about 20 years. The new LED lights are designed not only to improve traffic safety but also to consume significantly less energy. Once the work is completed and a test phase is finished, the tunnels are expected to be open to traffic again without restrictions starting in late October.
