West-East Connection (WOV), Lot East

Within the framework of the regional overall traffic concept for the Lower Reuss Valley (rGVK UR), the west-east connection between the Wysshus traffic circle and Gotthardstrasse is an important main traffic axis. Through a new traffic routing, the settlement areas are to be bypassed from transit.

The west-east link specifically enhances the transport network of the Urner Talboden and enables a new transport system that is important for the future development of the canton. This is achieved by combining a planned A2-half-connection Altdorf Süd in the Attinghausen area with a west-east connecting road along the Schächen.

The contract of PORR SUISSE AG includes the following constructions:

• Bridge over the river Schächen (construction only possible in winter when the water level is low)
• About 380 meters of road construction from the bridge in the direction of Schattdorf
• Emergency access from traffic circle East to RUAG industrial park
• Flood protection measures (adaptation of the secondary dam with flood culvert under the new stretch of road)
