9.5 kilometer long route: A4 can be extended between Winterthur and Kleinandelfingen

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

The A4 connects the city of Schaffhausen with Winterthur. The route runs through Zurich’s wine country.

The 9.5 kilometer long highway section between Winterthur-Nord ZH and Kleinandelfingen ZH is considered a bottleneck in the national road network, the Federal Road Service (Astra) announced on Tuesday. “With only one lane in each direction, the capacity limit has been reached.”

The A4 will therefore also be expanded on this route to four lanes with lane separation and emergency lane. The Astra is expected to cost around 350 million francs. The preparatory work will start at the end of this year, the main work is expected to start in May 2025. The four A4 lanes are expected to open at the end of 2028.

New bridge needed

The expansion, which is intended to improve traffic flow and prevent alternative traffic in the region, requires, among other things, the construction of a new bridge over the Thur. According to Astra, the project will also increase safety and implement measures to promote environmental protection.

The project was publicly launched in 2016 and received several complaints. These have now been taken care of. The decision to approve the planning became legally binding at the beginning of this year.

From June to October this year, the Astra will tour various neighboring municipalities with an information pavilion. When construction starts in May 2025, a visitor center will be opened in the former clock factory near the Weinland Bridge in Andelfingen ZH. (SDA)
