After more than 55 years of service, the Lueg Bridge along the A13, the Brenner motorway, had reached the end of its useful life. In order to relieve the structural load on the existing bridge, a single lane of traffic in both directions will be necessary on the Lueg Bridge from 1 January 2025 for reasons of traffic safety. To reduce long delays and traffic jams on days with increased traffic volumes, a temporary dual carriageway will be set up with special traffic routing.

To ensure that the bridge can be driven on two lanes on busy days, it is necessary for heavy vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes to drive on the inside of the bridge. This relieves the load on the supporting structure. A scientific test operation has shown that this innovative dual carriageway works. All vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes have to switch to the left-hand and therefore inner lane. Cars can use both lanes as before.
