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.
LZK-Project
Cost optimization for sustainability: With knowledge of life cycle costs, ASTRA can optimize the costs of building and maintaining national roads over their entire service life. This enables better, economically sustainable use of the financial resources available. Together with ASTRA, R+R is preparing documentation that describes the method for estimating and applying life cycle costs for the structural infrastructure from the operator's perspective. The focus is on the planning level and applicability by project managers and project teams.
N01.22 Motorway section Schönbühl – Kirchberg, Lindenrain rest area upgrade
The service building at the Lindenrain motorway rest area has been equipped with a new toilet module made of chrome steel; construction was completed at the end of 2023. The new toilet module offers better protection against vandalism, and it will be possible to continue its use in the event of a future replacement of the service building. R+R supported the Federal Road Office’s overall project manager in project planning and execution.

MOTORWAY MAINTENANCE PROJECT A1 EFFRETIKON – OHRINGEN
A 12 km stretch of the A1 motorway between the exits Effretikon and Winterthur Ohringen is to be refurbished. Moreover, by introducing up-do-date signalling technology, an optimisation of the traffic flow on the section Winterthur Töss – Winterthur Nord junction is to be achieved.
Stretching an approximate 12 kilometers in length, the A1 motorway section between Effretikon exit and Winterthur Ohringen exit ranks among the most congested motorway sections in the Swiss motorway network. The number of vehicles using it amounts to 100‘000 per day. The section in question has been in continuous service since 1974 and no significant restorative measures have been undertaken since then. In the context of the maintenance project «A1 Effretikon – Ohringen», the section is thus going to be refurbished in the coming years. In particular, there will be a renewal of parts of the roadway and the operation and security installations, in order to comply with current regulatory standards. Additionally, several adjacent structures require corrective maintenance measures to be carried out to warrant full operability of the constructions until the end of their expected life spans.
The FEDRO aims to effectuate a smoothing out of the traffic flow in the Winterthur area by installing up-to-date signalling technology. The project at hand will see to the implementation of according measures between the Winterthur Töss exit and the Winterthur Nord junction. Work on preliminary maintenance measures is set to begin in mid-May 2019. The principal part of the corrective maintenance will be carried out from 2020 to 2022. As part of a set of precursory measures, the Töss Bridge, the overpasses Zürcherstrasse Süd and Grafstal, three structures at the Effretikon exit, the retaining wall Pfahlwand Rossberg and the traffic light system Salomon- Hirzel-Strasse were refurbished between 2015 and 2017. Total project costs amount to 228 Mio. Swiss francs.
Holding mandates as project-owner support unit and construction supervisor, R+R supports and advises the general project management team of the Federal Roads Office in project management, controlling and the assessment of selected issues for the entire duration of the project.
