EP Hagnau – Augst N02
Within the Hagnau – Augst motorway maintenance project, structural changes to the western tunnel portal (direction Basel/Germany) have to be carried out to enable longitudinal ventilation in both traffic directions. We are pleased that the plans for the extension of the western portal of Schweizerhalle tunnel have officially been approved. This allows us to finalise the detailed design and approach the contractor submission process according to our project schedule.
N06.28 NEB EM Lyss Süd – Schönbühl
We are pleased to provide managenent support and construction site management for the N06.28 NEB EM Lyss Süd - Schönbühl motorway maintenance project on behalf of the Federal Road Authority’s Thun branch. The project includes replacement of the pavement as well as extensive measures on the engineering structures. The construction work is scheduled to be carried out between 2025 and 2027.
A1 Opening day of the Gubrist tunnel
Another bottleneck removed: On July 3rd, Federal Councilor Albert Rösti officially opened the new third tube of the Gubrist motorway tunnel, in the presence of representatives of the canton and city of Zurich as well as the local communities and members of the project team. Now three westbound traffic lanes are open to road users travelling in the direction of Bern.

A1 EXPANSION NORTHERN ZURICH BYPASS
The northern Zurich bypass between the Limmattal interchange and the Zurich North junction became operational in 1985. Today, the traffic volume at this motorway section exceeds 120’000 vehicles every working day. Traffic jams are frequent and there has been an increase in the occurrence of accidents.
The Federal Roads Office is improving the traffic situation on the northern Zurich bypass with an extension of the roadway to six lanes and the construction of a third tunnel tube.
Other core aspects of the improvements included in this key federal project are the two redesigned junctions at Weiningen and Zurich-Affoltern, as well as a new 100 m long covering in Weiningen. As an environmental compensation measure, a 580 m long covering with recreational areas will be constructed between Katzenseestrasse and Horensteinstrasse. The two existing tubes of the Gubrist tunnel will also be refurbished. Extensive environmental protection measures are to be implemented for the entire project and in particular for the protected marshlands around the Katzensee. The improvement also requires flanking measures in respect of traffic to provide effective and sustainable support for a transfer of traffic from other main roads to the high capacity road.
With few exceptions, two lanes in both directions will be continuously available for traffic for the entire duration of the construction phase. The excavation material of the third tube of the Gubrist tunnel will be loaded onto railway wagons via the temporary loading station in Zürich-Affoltern, and deposited in the quarry Oberegg, AG. Thanks to this measure, roughly 100‘000 truck trips will be avoided.
R+R has advised and assisted the Federal Roads Office ASTRA since 2008 as staff unit for the overall project owner in project management and since 2011 also as staff unit environmental consulting. As project-owner support, R+R is responsible for contract controlling, cost and budget management and the implementation of environmental protection measures.
