Bundesraad wants to expand the A1 to six lanes

The Bundesrat supports an initiative of parliament that wants to push through the national expansion of the A1 to six lanes. (theme image)

The violation comes from the Bernese SVP National Councilor Erich Hess (42) and was co-signed by 31 of his party colleagues. The National Council will be the first council to decide on this.

Hess motivated his motion with the fact that traffic on the 410 kilometer long A1 is now much greater than before. The Autobahn is one of the “chronically congested routes in the country”. Its use will only increase in the near future.

Some sections, such as between Härkingen SO and Wiggertal AG, have already been expanded to six lanes. Another stage is planned between Härkingen and Luterbach SO. Now Motionär Hess wants the Federal Council to enforce the general expansion of the A1 to six lanes.

The planned expansion of the motorway route fits in with the ideas of the new Minister of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, Albert Rösti (55). The SVP federal council recently stated at a media conference that it envisaged an extension of the motorway between Bern and Zurich. He especially rejected SBB boss Vincent Ducrot (60), who would like to expand the rail network on this route. (SDA/dba)
