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.

Bern Regional Tram, SP1 Koeniz

Bus route 10 between Koeniz Schliern and Ostermundigen Rueti, which carries heavy loads at present, is to be replaced by a tram as a measure within the Bern Agglomeration Programme. Various routing alternatives and means of transport were evaluated as part of the ‘Ostermundigen Public Transport’ and ‘Bern South’ expediency assessments in 2008, for six subprojects: Koeniz, Eigerplatz, Inner City, Ostermundigen, Rueti and Kleinwabern. The tram provides the best link from the residential districts and workplaces in Ostermundigen and the south of Bern to the city centre. The arguments in favour include attractive and environment-friendly public transport, an excellent cost benefit ratio and added value for the entire Greater Bern region as the tram can be optimally linked with the S-Bahn (metro).

As part of a planning team, R+R is processing the traffic-related aspects of the subproject 1 Koeniz (the section between Eigerplatz and Schliern). As well as the operating concept for the tram, the following aspects have been developed as a basis for the preproject file: the track routing, the design of tram stops, and adaptations to the road network as well as to connections for cyclists and pedestrians. Planning was undertaken in close collaboration with the client and with the involvement of the relevant specialist units. The participation of local residents and businesspeople was ensured by conducting several workshops.
