New construction of the Netstal crossover, Glarus Nord (GL)

On the traffic axes of the village center of Netstal and the connection to the A3 national road (Glarus - Näfels axis), the high traffic load increasingly caused problems for residential development. Frequent traffic jams increasingly impaired the flow of traffic in general and public transport in particular. The cantonal structure plan therefore provided for a connection to Mollis via a new northern link to relieve the traffic congestion in the village center of Netstal. The Netstal crossover is part of the 2010-2019 multi-year road construction program of the Canton of Glarus and was approved by the 2010 cantonal assembly. The new cantonal road has a length of approx. 650 m and connects the national road N17 Netstal-Näfels with the cantonal road Netstal-Mollis and crosses the Linth with a new bridge. The project was presented to the public in summer 2020 and subsequently approved by the cantonal government. Construction work on the Netstal crossover began in summer 2022 and the construction project was completed by the end of 2023. Environmental construction supervision (UBB) with integrated pedological construction supervision (BBB) was required for the construction phase.
