Tenders Are Invited For Engineering Services – K 11, K 40 Willisau Feasibility Study On Lifting The Ettiswilerstrasse Level Crossing

Engineering Services – K 11, K 40 Willisau Feasibility Study On Lifting The Ettiswilerstrasse Level Crossing. The K 40 Connects Willisau And Hergiswil Near Willisau With The K 11. This In Turn Connects The Willisau Region With The A2 Motorway (Dagmersellen Connection) And The Sursee And Entlebuch Regions. Shortly Before The Junction Of The Two Cantonal Roads At The Grundmatt Roundabout, The K 40 Crosses The Bls Line Willisau - Langenthal At The Same Level (Level Crossing At Ettiswilerstrasse).
