Infrastructure modernization and construction projects are underway across several locations in Austria and Germany.

In Austria, projects include utility modernization on Paradeisergasse in Klagenfurt and a long-term redevelopment of the Völs railway station, which is expected to continue through 2029. In Graz, ÖBB has installed a new steel railway bridge in Herrgottwiesgasse as part of a 5 million euro modernization effort, with a new bicycle bridge also being constructed.

In Germany, work is progressing on the Pfaffendorfer Bridge in Koblenz. The project involves using a roadway slab supported by steel pillars to protect historical casemates. A significant milestone involving the transport of 1,000-ton steel components via pontoon is planned for September, though the operation remains dependent on Rhine River water levels.
