Lower Austria to build a bridge to Slovakia: farmer wants to 'take it seriously'

The article discusses the potential construction of a bridge across the March River in Lower Austria to improve road connectivity with Slovakia. The current ferry service between Angern and Záhorská Ves has been suspended due to low water levels. Udo Landbauer, Deputy Governor and Transport Minister of Lower Austria, supports the idea of a permanent bridge, emphasizing the need for reliable cross-border transportation. However, he notes that funding remains unclear. The concept was previously considered in 2003 but could not be realized. Local businessman Gerhard Küssler has recently revived interest in the project by collecting over 4,500 signatures. A 2007 referendum showed majority support for the bridge at the location of the ferry.
