On January 31, 2012 the Swiss Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communication (DETEC) approved the plan to expand capacity on the A1 northern ring road in Zurich by adding a new bore to the Gubrist tunnel. If no objections are filed, the Swiss Federal Roads Office FEDRO will proceed with preparations for the construction work. Zoebeli Communications AG will handle all aspects of communication relating to this expansion project.
New website for the Swiss Federal Roads Office
The Swiss Federal Roads Office FEDRO launched a new website at the beginning of the year to coincide with the extension of the northern ring road in Zurich. Interested persons can find all the key information about this section of the motorway which features the famous – or infamous – Gubrist tunnel at www.nordumfahrung.ch. Five webcams provide information about the current traffic situation along the route. The website was designed and produced by Zoebeli Communications AG.
