Hauptstrasse 2b Langmatt Gersau–Brunnen

Gersau–Brunnen, Switzerland / 03.2016 - 12.2017

Under contract to the Office of Construction Engineering of the Canton Schwyz, PORR took on this project involving an upgrading of the Kantonsstrasse alongside the idyllic Vierwaldstättersee. A 600m-long stretch of road between Gersau and Brunnen was resurfaced. This also required the restoration and widening of the footpath cantilever.
