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.

ERTMS Netherlands

Other countries, same problems: Modern railway technology requires time and money to implement. Jost Lüking was member of a team of six European experts on the ETCS train control system who assessed the status of the national ETCS program for the Dutch Parliament in mid-2023. Our Second Opinion formulated recommendations on program governance and management, on the technical, spatial and temporal scope of the program, on system integration and integration management, and last but not least on program costs and their current forecast. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Waterways published the Second Opinion at the beginning of November.

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.

MOTORWAY MAINTENANCE PROJECT SCHLIEREN EXIT – EUROPA BRIDGE (GRÜNAU)

The short motorway section between Schlieren exit and Europa bridge is situated exclusively in a heavily urbanised environment. The four to six motorway lanes are complemented by two adjacent two-lane state roads, one on each side of the motorway. The corrective maintenance project for this motorway section and the refurbishment of the noise protection systems aim to take into account both cantonal and municipal design requirements.

The refurbishment and reshaping of the A1 motorway in the Grünau/Altstetten region near the western border of the city of Zürich covers a road section with a length of one and a half kilometres. In addition to noise protection, the reshaping of the road profile (including the installation of transparent noise barriers and the establishment of a median strip with tree rows) will result in a boulevard-like appearance and improve the motorway’s integration into the cityscape, thereby making the project a unique case. After a period of 30 years without any significant refurbishment measures, the renewal of the asphalt pavement, improvements to the drainage system, the construction of a road wastewater treatment plant and updates to the traffic management system are due. In addition to the operations on the motorway, changes to the motorway accesses necessitate adjustments to a number of communal roads and conduits, which requires close coordination with the City of Zürich and the respective municipal authorities.

R+R advises the Federal Roads Office‘s project manager in a staff function and will also provide construction site management. As this project includes road maintenance as well as conceptual improvements to an urban environment, advanced skills in the fields of project coordination and design are required in addition to conventional project management and controlling tasks.
