The work will be carried out at night, from 5 to 11 May. During this period, between 8:30 p.m. and 5 a.m., all lorries weighing more than 3.5 tonnes will be prohibited from using the bridge, according to the Austrian motorway operator ASFINAG. The restriction applies to vehicles travelling in both directions on the A13 Brennerautobahn and the A12 Inntalautobahn.
“To ensure compliance with and monitoring of the restrictions, police checks will be carried out both in the Oberland region (near Pettnau) and near Kufstein (dosing point) to prevent lorries over 3.5 tonnes from crossing the Lueg Bridge at night. This also means that vehicles whose destination can only be reached via the Lueg Bridge will be redirected or turned back at these checkpoints,” ASFINAG said in a statement.
In addition, from 22:00 to 5:00 during the same period, a traffic ban will also apply to all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes between the Matrei-Steinach and Brenner-Nord junctions. Here too, police and ASFINAG will carry out checks and issue fines for non-compliance.
No official diversions are planned for heavy goods vehicles. Traffic heading towards Bregenz/Vorarlberg (A12) is not affected by these restrictions.
