The new entrance to Badia Valley is a technically complex infrastructure project comprising a bridge, a tunnel, and several open sections, designed to make road access to Val Badia more efficient and safer. As responsible project managers and planners, we have developed precise alternative plans that address the topographical and geological challenges of the region.

The planned bridge will rest on massive reinforced concrete foundations, ensuring optimal load distribution. The bridge structure is designed to withstand both static loads and the extreme weather conditions in the alpine area. The tunnel, constructed in rocky terrain, will be executed using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) to ensure maximum stability and safety. This includes temporary shotcrete stabilization followed by a permanent concrete lining.

The project begins approximately 400 meters before the Castelbadia Tunnel with the construction of a grade-separated interchange implemented via a roundabout. This is located above the lowered SS49 and enables conflict-free traffic flow. A 140-meter-long bridge crosses the Rienz River and the railway line, leading directly to the tunnel under the Dosso Floronzo, which is about 1 kilometer long and features a 300-meter-long escape tunnel.

The open sections perfectly connect the bridge and the tunnel and are equipped with efficient drainage infrastructure to prevent erosion and water accumulation. Several traffic junctions have been carefully designed to ensure smooth traffic flow and reduce the impact on nearby villages.

Our team meticulously oversees the construction phases and coordinates safety measures to ensure a sustainable and technically flawless solution. The new entrance will sustainably improve the infrastructure in the Pusteria and Badia valleys, optimizing traffic flow and exemplifying modern traffic planning in alpine terrain.
