THE ROAD Seedorf - Isleten
(from reminiscences of the Isenthal at the opening of the road goods Seedorf - Isleten, by Max Oechslin, book printing Gamma, Altdorf 1951)
The newly created G ü, ters the route with Seedorf Isleten links - and will continue over the next two years to build - has now Isenthal taken out of its seclusion. Already five decades ago, when we went to the construction of the Isentalerstraße, we thought of a "connection over land" by was provided from the lowest return of the road directly through the Gand against Engisort and along the shore in the street line of today's road freight to find the connection to Seedorf. But one part was fear, even then before the rock fall in Gand, which is now met through the creation of the hundred-meter-long gallery, and on the other hand, at that time was of the steamboat traffic on the lake in full bloom, so that the Isental and cantonal authorities said that the road link to Isleten give the best information. As a result, was then becoming clear that with this "blind road" could not manage, especially needed during the first world war of 1914-1918 and on the lake traffic restrictions were that the Isental again increased left "into the remote valley back. Around 1923 by Ing Fahrner, Lucerne, a first general project for a road link Seedorf-Islet-building was erected at what we had to write a "forest assessment" as the road also the digestion of forests along the lake, the Isental and building serves.
It seemed on this project, not a good exercise to Stern, because it disappeared in a drawer or box, it is even "out of the country." 1930, were above all the community representatives Isenthal, to which is also to build, as well as interested in Seedorf, the idea of a freight road construction on again, with the former building director Charles Gerig Wassen well kept occurring to any restraint, because of the other side from a major thoroughfare, the "left bank" was spoken, which bring the disintegration of the whole left bank and connect directly with Uri Nidwalden to country would. However, it should probably be noted that even with the construction of a large car-road having just on the track Engisort-building three tunnels of several hundreds of meters, for internal transport, especially the agriculture and forestry, along the shore extending and tunnel-free Güterstaße is directly necessary . Also, the pedestrian is much rather walk on a road outside than long tunnel, even if the latter are exposed to artificial.
In 1937, on the part of Kant's Cultural Affairs Bureau under the influx of Ing H. Bickel, Zurich, worked out a freight road project, which conforms closely to the shoreline, a length of 6866 m (6182 m new road and 648 m existing , and allowed to correct road section) and a roadway width of 2 m, total width including banquet and channels 2,6 m. On the part of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, the project was approved with a contribution of 37.5 percent, below the 25th May 1938, and under an additional contribution of 12.5 percent Arbeitsbeschafftmg 22 February 1939.
The cantonal referendum had approved in connection with the approval of the loan for the construction of the road Susten the estimate of 690'000 francs, and the necessary credit for the implementation of the work. As a result, but appeared again on the construction of the large left-bank road, what pages Track of the Federal Inspectorate, Bern, a project was drawn up for the track on the Uri area of Engineering Bureau is Carl Erni, Lucerne, included. At the same again appeared on the construction of a road freight, which is why the Uri cantonal building office by Ing Bertrand Müller, Altdorf, had set up a new project to this effect, on 13 September 1940 was present and calculated a cost estimate of 1.275 million Swiss francs.
The fact that a car left bank road (with a width of 6 m) and a road freight to the same call came and the federal authorities were against an imminent construction of a major thoroughfare as safe also the fact that the canton of Uri that has been paid through road INCAPABLE hardly bear to let the track Inspectorate on the basis of plans for a left bank highway engineer by Dr. Ing. Ruckli, Bern, a freight route for the road project construction charge-Seedorf, while maintaining three tunnels, with lengths of 344, 703 and 316 meters. The cost estimate put on 1.789 million Swiss francs. After the building deadlines extended for the project from 1937/1938, but was passed unused, construction, and providing subsidies of road freight on the part of the covenant with order of 2 May 1942 postponed indefinitely, with the determination that a new Input to be made in accordance with the then resulting conditions and construction prices have.
It is understandable that the particularly interested communities Isenthal and construction at the cantonal authorities repeatedly requested the construction of the goods by road, as it had been approved in the referendum of 1938. More and less, allowed the financial situation of the canton, take a large left bank highway launched, at a cost of the route Flüeler street-Seelisberg Buochs were still charged with 39.5 million Swiss francs, while on the road section Seedorf-Islet-building alone 12 620 000 francs omitted. Why was the idea of the construction of road freight increased again Ground. The Executive Council instructed the cantonal Cultural Affairs to draw up a new project, with the lines of the left bank highway had to be respected. People thought this, remember, are that in a later expansion of goods by road in a through street work as a kind of preparatory work and can be integrated into the main road.
The idea of a new project has been developed, which is largely considered the line of a highway south bank, on the other hand, completely bypassing the long tunnel. The project was considered by Dr. Ing Ruckli basis, especially for the construction of the gallery and the bridges. The roadway was at 3 m set, plus banquets or longitudinal peel of each 30 cm wide, 3.6 m total Tunnels and bridges were given a width of 4 m (3.4 m carriageway). In any avalanche and torrent programs was primarily seen cobbled ford. - This road freight, which it follows that in an open area of the hawser of the left bank highway, in the rocky areas, however the shoreline to consistently to that route, "a day" are replaced, the project has a length of 6321 meters and expects a cost estimate van 2 500 000 Swiss francs.
This project was submitted by the Cantonal the Forestry Office, Department for Cultural Affairs, in early April 1948 the authorities. The district administration said the project at its meeting of 26 April 1948 well and requested the adoption of the same referendum, the issue of the implementation of the buildings necessary loan of 2.5 million Swiss francs, and the recovery plan. Uri people voted on 23 May 1948 with only 376 against 3997 Yes No to the request, so that already on 26 could decide in May 1948 the Government forwarded the project to the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, to the already Erhältlichmachung the project from the 1937/1938 promised contribution. Bottom 6th June 1948 carried out this decision. After a thorough review of the project by the Federal Meliorationsamt, with even Chief Engineer Alfred Strüby participated blessed benevolent, was the presentation by order of the Federal Council under the 30th December 1948 approved has been set although the subsidy-eligible amount to 2 million, with a contribution of 37.5 percent and a maximum of 750 000 francs.
Such was the situation open for construction.
The first lot could be announced as early as April 1949 for the route to Acherli Seehof, 1553 meters. The forgiveness was made to the company Viktor Gasperini, Altdorf, on 6 June 1949 started work and was able to complete this end of November. Costs remained within the draft budget of 293 000 francs.
The second contract section was the company Emil Baumann, Altdorf, Los IIA, and Joseph Bowman, Altdorf, lot 11B passed, construction of which began in March 1950, so that the end October, the work was finished. Here, too, could be remains of 400,000 francs for the route to Acherli Engisort with 1,229 meters inside the quotation.
It could also delay the detail of the project III. Contract section will be drawn up for the track Engisort Isleten, ie 907 m, with the estimated budget of 470,000 francs, with the construction of the rockfall Gallery by Gand at 102 meters and the rock part caused by shield specific costs. The work was the company Emil Baumann, Altdorf, Los IIIA (including gallery building company with Josef Baumann Muheim, Altdorf), and Viktor Gasperini, Altdorf, Los IIIB, forgiven. With the works in November Started in 1950, so that they were terminated in late April 1951 and the continuous traffic Seedorf-Isleten Isenthal now and into the open.
The total cost of the route by Seedorf (Seehof) and Islet (mountain stream) that were for 4087 m, calculated on the overall project to 1.427 million francs, according to the detailed projects, with a few savings, with 1.163 million Fri The costs will rise to around 1.165 million Swiss francs.
This is the valley of the large commercial Isental been connected. The spring of 1951 mean for this particular turn of mountain people. May it be for the good of the valley, the good, open the door, but all that is foreign, and henceforth no input . Grant
