Salzburg: The HGV driving ban the B159 lifted until June 2025
Owing to the general renovation of the Ofenauer, Hiefler, Brentenberg, Zetzenberg and Helbersberg tunnels on the A10 motorway, which ism scheduled to take place from 9 September 2024 to 26 June 2025, the driving ban for vehicles with a GVW of over 7.5 t on the B159 Salzachtal Straße from km 34.4 +35m to km 35.2 +64m (in the village of Tenneck) will be lifted for throughout the period.
As a result of the renovation, only one lane will be available for traffic in each direction along this 14-kilometer section of the A10. In addition, a driving ban for vehicles wider than 3.20 m will come into effect along the entire section of the A10 affected by the renovation work. Special transports that cannot be diverted (e.g. to the Liebherr plant) will have to use the B159 Salzachtal Straße. The A10 exit will be closed for the entire renovation period. Depending on circumstances (e.g. traffic volume, the dosing of HGV traffic before the Helbersberg tunnel or the Ofenauer and Hiefler tunnels), the A10 exits towards Werden and Pass Lueg towards Salzburg must be closed. These disruptions will cause serious restrictions for regional commercial traffic (e.g. to the Sulzau industrial area, where there are gravel factories, asphalt plants, etc.). Experience from previous renovations of the A10 is another argument in favour of lifting the driving ban. Since the motorway exit closures are likely to increase travel times on this route, trcuks will be allowed to travel use the B159 Salzachtal Straße through the village of Tenneck for the duration of the renovation.
