Bridge demolition at Nibelungen successfully finished
Linz Has a Twist with Bike Lanes
In the heart of Linz, a sudden change swept the Nibelungen Bridge. Just a few scant days after additional bike lanes were installed, a sudden turn of events occurred—the bike lane heading towards Urfahr was removed once more. The swift elimination happened, leaving three lanes for cars, trucks, and public transport in that direction.
Bikers, however, are still using the original, vibrant red, repainted bike lane as it adjoins the sidewalk. On the opposite side of the bridge, the extra bike lane remains intact. This decision, concerning the removal, was made communally by the city of Linz, the provincial government, police, and the Linz public transport company due to safety reasons. They are actively engaged in crafting a lasting solution for traffic flow.
