Lock in the Oberland – Tyrol: 700 pound stone thundered on the road

Date:

After a stone chip on the L76 Landecker Straße in the Tyrolean Oberland on Wednesday evening, the route between Urgen and Nesselgarten in the municipality of Fliess had to be closed to all traffic. Clean up and security work is underway.

The rock impact happened around 10 p.m. on Wednesday. “A boulder weighing about 700 kilograms fell on the highway.

After an on-site inspection by state geologist Werner Thöny, a specialist company was immediately commissioned to clear and secure the rock,” said Bernd Stigger, head of Imst’s construction district office.

Traffic is expected to resume over the weekend
The work is expected to last until Friday. The road is expected to reopen to traffic over the weekend. Avoidance is possible via the A12 Inntalautobahn and the Landeckertunnel.
