Description of project

On behalf of the bureau of torrents and avalanche protection, section Bludenz, we made the detailed planning and the structure planning for the torrent barrier in the Rellsbach-river in Vandans (total area 560 m2).

With this project the re-allocation of the L83 from km 0.909,500 to km 1.411,900 eastbound, including the new building of the Rellsbach-bridge and the Auenlatschbach-bridge were planned in detail. Furthermore the junction of the affected side roads, especially the Innerbachstrasse and the Riederstrasse, had to be adapted to the new street course.

The planning included the implementation planning of the L83 as well as the structural design of the new bridges.

  • Auenlatschbach-bridge: span approx. 11.60 m, width aprrox. 10.10 m, inclination 40°
  • Rellsbach-bridge: span approx. 17.35 m width variable on average approx. 11.30 m, inclination 78°
