After a storm – crashing landslide as a result of heavy rain

With a great deal of noise, a slope began to slide down in the Upper Austrian municipality of Schwand im Innviertel on Friday. He may have suddenly become unstable as a result of the heavy rain. For safety reasons, an adjacent lane may no longer be crossed for a longer period of time.

A witness reported on Friday at around 2 p.m. via emergency call that with a loud roar the slope next to the roadway of the L1001 in Brunn im Gries (Schwand municipality) in the direction of Braunau had slipped and the roadway had been undermined. It was no longer possible to safely pass the roadway. Two weeks of rehabilitation measures on the part of the Hochburg police then determined that due to the massive heavy rain the slope was in danger of slipping further. A detour had to be set up. The section will now remain closed for at least 14 days, as extensive security measures must be carried out before it can be opened.
