The pass road, which connects the cantons of Schwyz and Glarus, climbs 540 meters in altitude over a length of 4.5 kilometers on the renovated section. The work was challenging due to the many bends and tight spaces, the district announced on Wednesday.
Work was carried out in spring and fall. In summer, work was suspended out of consideration for tourism, agriculture and forestry.
The over 40-year-old road has been made safer thanks to the renovation, according to the press release. New passing places were created, retaining walls renewed and rock protections installed. The road was also given a new foundation and surface layer.
