After an on-site inspection on Monday morning, construction work at the LASK stadium in Linz can now be continued. However, the freeze on construction was not lifted, only postponed: the association and the construction company Porr now have eight weeks to submit the plans for the unauthorized basement area, said Mayor Klaus Luger (SPÖ).
On Saturday, OÖN reported exclusively on the construction freeze imposed by the City of Linz’s building authority.
All other approvals are currently available for legal and technical examination. “In any case, it was important to us to find a quick solution,” said Luger in a written statement. The builders must now subsequently apply for a permit. However, the city manager assumes that this is merely a “formal legal” matter.
The large construction site on the Linzer Gugl is not under a good star: first a dispute among those responsible in the association, withdrawal of the tender and adaptation of the planning, renewed tender and withdrawn again because the Europe-wide tender was “forgotten”. The most recent construction stop was specifically about a basement under the main grandstand, which was enlarged. To what extent, the LASK did not reveal, according to OÖN information, it is about a dimension of about 500 square meters. A LASK spokesman spoke of “planning mistakes from the past” and “technically unavoidable changes”.
