• Vehicles that cannot use the B 185 Martinsbrucker Straße due to existing traffic restrictions must take a wide detour around the closure or wait for the designated passage time slots.

  Bicycles are prohibited on the B 185 Martinsbruckerstraße from Martinsbruck to Norbertshöhe uphill during daytime closures. Bicycle traffic is rerouted via the forest road (note: not suitable for road bikes) Altfinstermünz “Bierweg”.

Construction phase 5 (April 30, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. – November 30, 2026):

• Traffic lights: In the single-lane section of the construction site, traffic will be regulated by traffic lights. During periods of heavy traffic, longer waiting times are to be expected on the B 180 Reschenstraße due to the single-lane traffic regulation. However, the detour via the B 184 Engadiner Straße, Swiss territory, and the B 185 Martinsbrucker Straße is possible throughout, with the exception of vehicles with trailers over 6.5 m and buses over 13 m. (Note: The route is 6.5 km longer, which means an average journey time of approx. 10 minutes longer).
• Cycling is prohibited on the B180 Reschenstraße between the Fischeralm access road and the Altfinstermünz Fortress access road. A detour is possible via the cycle path towards Altfinstermünz Fortress and via the forest road “Bierweg” (Gp. 3441, KG Nauders I). Furthermore, with the exception of a closure of the B 180 Reschenstraße, cyclists can use the B 185 Martinsbrucker Straße.
