Preliminary measures on the A6 between Lyss-Süd and Schönbühl
R+R Burger und Partner is supporting the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO / ASTRA) as client-side project management support (BHU) and senior construction site management supervisor (OBL) in the N06.28 NEB EM Lyss-Süd–Schönbühl maintenance project. In this role, we are overseeing the preparation, coordination, and implementation of the preliminary measures – specific interventions carried out ahead of the main maintenance works. The objective is to upgrade the section for an additional 30 years of service life, thereby implementing ASTRA’s maintenance strategy.
As part of an advance measure (VoMa), nearly 2,000 manhole covers are being replaced on the highway section between Lyss-Süd and Schönbühl. Many existing covers have deteriorated to an unacceptable condition. In some cases, they can no longer be opened, which limits the ability to perform inspections and maintenance work on the infrastructure located below.
The affected manholes are used for road drainage as well as serving as inspection chambers and access points to the drainage systems and electrical installations. To replace them, the existing covers and the adjacent pavement will be removed during daytime construction work. The new covers will then be installed, sealed, and the pavement restored.
Work has been underway since July 27, 2026, and is expected to continue through the end of 2026. Temporary traffic restrictions are to be expected during construction. However, the A6 will remain open to traffic at all times.

N11/60, N01/42 UPlaNS – ZH-Ost–Kloten Süd Interchange (ZOK), Completion of the Maintenance Concept (EK) Phase
Renato Käppeli / Stefan Isler
Over the past two years, we have supported the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) as project-owner support unit in the development of the maintenance concept (EK) for the ZOK project.
In addition to renewal work, smaller, targeted improvements to enhance traffic safety and traffic flow were also examined.
A particular challenge in this demanding project was the dense population and high traffic volume in the vicinity of Zurich Airport.
Approval for the EK has been granted, and we look forward to supporting the next project phases.

A1 OHRINGEN – OBERWINTERTHUR MEASURES TO OPTIMIZE TRAFFIC FLOW
During peak hours, the motorway section between Winterthur Ohringen and Oberwinterthur is highly congested. To ensure a stable flow of traffic, as well as to minimise potential backlog at the junctions, measures are being taken by the Federal Roads Office to improve and optimise the traffic situation. In addition, constructional adjustments are being made and traffic signal systems are being installed at the junctions.
Section 48 on the national motorway A1 between Winterthur Ohringen and Oberwinterthur ranks among the most congested motorway sections in Switzerland. Stretching 4.3 kilometers, it is jammed during peak hours on a nearly-daily basis. This bears negative consequences for the road networks of the Winterthur city agglomeration. The implementation of measures to optimise traffic flow is due to alleviate congestion during peak hours on both the motorway and secondary road networks, as well as to minimise the risk of accidents. Amongst other things, these measures include extensions of the Oberwinterthur motorway junction and the acceleration lane at Forrenberg service station, the widening of existing emergency bays and the installation of a total of 19 signalling portals. The total costs of the project amount to 29 million Swiss francs. In order to prevent traffic backlog at the junctions, constructional adjustments are undertaken and new traffic signal systems are being installed at the junctions Winterthur Ohringen and Oberwinterthur.
The scheduled measures serve as an interim solution until the 6-lane extension between Winterthur Töss and the intersection Winterthur Ost will be commissioned. Current plans call for the motorway extension to be implemented between 2035 and 2040. Holding mandates as project-owner support unit and construction supervisor, R+R has been providing assistance to the general project management team of the Federal Roads Office since early project stages. In this capacity, R+R supports and advises the general project management team in project management, project controlling and in other selected issues.
