Renovation of Grütstrasse in Gossau for greater safety and noise protection
STRABAG starts extensive road renovation in Gossau ZH. Grütstrasse will be given new carriageways, a modern infrastructure and greater safety for road users. Civil engineering work will also be carried out.
The Schlieren-based construction company STRABAG is renovating Grütstrasse in Gossau, according to a press release. The road, which is described as an important transport link, shows signs of damage to the carriageway. The road is now being renovated in order to modernise the infrastructure and improve road safety. “A central component of the measures is the structural redesign to increase safety for cyclists and pedestrians,” it continues. In addition, traffic noise is to be reduced with new 30 km/h zones. Completion is planned for the end of 2026.
In addition to the renovation of the road surface, the project also includes other extensive work. The Gossauerbach stream, which runs under the greenway, will be upgraded to make it flood-proof. STRABAG is also renewing combined water pipes and drinking water pipes. Energy and shaft systems are being modernised and the infrastructure required for telecommunications is being expanded.
“The renovation will provide the people of Gossau and all road users with greater road safety, modern infrastructure and improved flood protection,” says Remo Hürlimann, head of the construction department of the municipality of Gossau.
