In the course of traffic planning and management, the provincial government of Vorarlberg plans a subsurface by-pass in Feldkirch (Austria). It is located in the west of Vorarlberg and borders to Liechtenstein.
Several parts of the city of Feldkirch will be connected by the traffic planning process “Feldkirch South“. Main part of the project is a conventionally mined round-about tunnel under the area of “Letze“. It will connect four tunnels at a depth of approximately 100 m below surface.
The eastern tunnel, which is a traffic connection to Walgau, leads under Maria Grün to Felsenau to the road L190. The northern tunnel links the southern inner city and the western tunnel underpasses the Blasenberg and ends in the Kapfweg in Tosters. The southern part of this project is the connection to Liechtenstein. The tunnel portal is located in Tisis, which is next to the border to Liechtenstein.
The tunnel construction will be 3.95 kilometres long (including cut-and-cover sections and roundabout tunnel). Furthermore, four emergency tunnels with a whole length of 2.7 km will be built.
