N15/02 Motorway Section Wangen – Uster East
We are pleased to have been chosen to support the FEDRO Winterthur branch in the N15/02 UPlaNS Wangen – Uster East motorway maintenance project. The project covers several departments, and the separation of maintenance, renovation and newbuilding measures presents particular challenges.
Integration Projects4P in R+R Burger und Partner AG
R+R Burger und Partner AG has taken over the Projects4P brand and integrated it as a new business unit.
Projects4P was founded and built up by our management board member Stefan Isler.
The services of the Projects4P division include project management consulting, project management training and interim project management.
These three elements are based on the innovative 4P Dynamo concept. This is based on a wealth of experience and includes a comprehensive and structured approach to develop project management skills in organizations in the long term.
Projects4P ideally complements the existing offering of R+R Burger und Partner AG.
While R+R Burger und Partner AG has made a name for itself in the management and cost consulting of infrastructure projects, Projects4P focuses on the individual development of maturity in project management of project-oriented organizations.
N06.24 NEB EM Brüggmoos – Lyss-Süd motorway maintenance project
We are very pleased that we have been asked to support FEDRO’s Thun branch in the N06.24 NEB EM Brüggmoos – Lyss-Süd motorway maintenance project during in the next years in our function as management support and senior construction management. The repair work on this motorway section includes a replacement of the pavement and extensive measures on the engineering structures. Actual construction work is planned for 2029.
Research project bicycle traffic exposure
R+R is working together with the ZHAW and Pro Velo on the FEDRO research mandate MFZ_20_04E_03 Measurement of exposure to bicycle traffic until spring 2026. The aim of this research project is to evaluate existing methods for determining the mobility behavior of cyclists and to test a promising approach in a pilot study in practice. It involves determining the exposure, i.e., the distances traveled by cyclists, divided into the use of bicycles and e-bikes. Existing bicycle counts will also be integrated into the pilot study. Based on the findings, a proposal for the future calculation of exposure in bicycle traffic in Switzerland will be developed.

EXPEDIENCY ASSESSMENT 2. TRAMWAY AXIS BERNE CITY CENTRE
Today, the entire tram traffic in the historic center of the city of Berne is concentrated on the Marktgasse and Spitalgasse route. This section connects the eastern and western parts of the tramway network. A second tram route is expected to reduce the strain on the central network segments and to increase the operational reliability.
Berne’s historically grown tramway network is focusing on the central railway station. All feeder lines in the station area are using a single corridor, passing through Marktgasse and Spitalgasse in the upper part of the old town and thus through a central area of the UNESCO World Heritage perimeter. As this main axis is at the same time the most important shopping street in Berne’s historical center, conflicts with pedestrian traffic and supply logistics are inevitable.
With the planned construction of a new tramway line to Ostermundigen, the unsatisfactory situation will become even worse. After completion, this network section will have to accommodate 46 trams and 12 busses in each direction during peak hours. To alleviate the strain on the main axes and to establish a network less prone to operational limitations, plans for a second tramway axis between the central railway station and the “Zytglogge” clock tower are prepared.
R+R developed proposals for the alignment of the second axis as part of an expediency assessment, offered technical support and evaluated the layout options. The optimal solution suggests an alignment through Speichergasse and Nägeligasse. This would result in a substantial reduction of strain on the existing axis and, in the event of an incident, would allow for the rerouting of all tram lines onto the new route. In addition, R+R examined alternative options to infrastructure extension and developed possible measures to optimise the existing network and improve operational efficiency.
