Linz bypass part of Austria’s long-term road strategy

The government of the Austria’s federal Upper Austria state has included an €800 million Linz bypass in its infrastructure programme up to 2030. However, completion of the bypass may not be until the late 2020s, according to media reports. Linz, the capital of Upper Austria and 30km south of the Czech border, is the third-largest city of Austria and with a population of around 205,000 amid a greater regional population of 780,000.
