After 35 years of planning and 8 years of construction the first part of the Zurich-west
bypass, in Switzerland, was finally opened on 3 July 2006. The motorway is also a bypass for Birmensdorf where its inhabitants have long been plagued by the around 25,000 vehicles passing through the
town. To celebrate, a grand three-day festival was held on the Reppischtal Bridge and in the Eggrain Tunnel before the official
opening. The radio traffic reports of “jams between Urdorf South and Birmensdorf” will at last be a thing of the
past. |
