Zusätzliche Dienstleistungen und Services
Unique features: Work will be performed on the tunnel at night and on various weekends so that daytime traffic flow can be maintained during the complete overhaul. The construction sites will be set up every day and cleared again in the early morning to ensure the safe passage of traffic. Space is extremely limited for work and material transport and must be planned precisely. Shift planning for the construction site personnel is also a major challenge for those responsible.
