Implenia builds infrastructure projects for CHF 100 million

Opfikon ZH, June 2023

Implenia has been awarded the contract to build two projects worth CHF 100 million. In Zurich, Implenia is building a motorway link. In Winterthur, a complex new bridge is being built that is central to the coalescence of a new district.

Implenia has received approval to build two complex transport infrastructure projects costing CHF 100 million. According to a media release, a motorway junction is being built in Zurich under the lead management of the construction and real estate company, which will provide particularly good protection against noise. On behalf of the city of Winterthur, Implenia is building a 390-metre-long complex bridge that will play a central role in the city’s development.

Following approval from the Federal Roads Office(FEDRO), Implenia is responsible for upgrading the N01/36 Schlieren-Europabrücke motorway junction in Zurich-Grünau. The project includes maintenance of the traffic area between the Schlieren and Altstetten junctions. Prior to this, deconstruction, excavation and works pipeline work as well as the installation of a road wastewater treatment plant would have to be carried out. Noise barriers covering an area of 3,800 square metres are to protect residents of the Grünau neighbourhood from disturbance after the end of construction in 2027.

On behalf of the city of Winterthur, Implenia is reportedly building a 390-metre-long, challenging bridge structure for pedestrians, bicycles and buses over the Grüze crossing. It connects Sulzerallee with St.Gallerstrasse and, according to the city, is intended to become “the public transport hub of the newly emerging Neuhegi-Grüze district”. The construction contract includes special civil engineering for foundations and protective structures, various civil engineering services in the track area and complex falsework structures. The bridge is scheduled to go into operation at the end of 2026.
