Works on the A14 and refurbishments in the Pfänder Tunnel
Starting March 2nd, work will begin between Bregenz and Wolfurt-Lauterach (A14 Rheintal/Walgau motorway) together with the second phase of the renovations in the Pfänder Tunnel. These renovations aim to increase safety on Vorarlberg's motorways.
Renovations in the Pfänder Tunnel
In the Pfänder Tunnel, the operational and safety technology in the east tube will be renewed. These renovation works will take place mostly at night, so traffic in the east tube will only be restricted at night (8 PM to 5 AM). However, in order for travel through the Pfänder Tunnel to remain possible, a contraflow area will be set up in the west tube. Nevertheless, the maximum speed will be reduced to 60 km/h. The renovation works are expected to be completed by the end of October 2026.
Outside of the night closures, both tunnel tubes can be used free of construction work. In addition: the Pfänder Tunnel will be passable free of construction work on busy public holidays and on weekends.
Construction work on the A14
In addition to the Pfänder Tunnel, the second phase of the work to renew the road surface and drainage in the three-lane section will also begin. The work on the A14 (between Bregenz and Wolfurt-Lauterach) will also start on March 2nd. During the work, two lanes will remain open to traffic. The work is expected to be completed by mid-July 2026.
