To Eing.: 15.JULI 1942 Mr. Ober-Reg.Rat Dr. G i e s in the Czernin Palace Subject: Road construction Lodenitz-Karlstein Reference: Your letter v. 9.7.1942 - St.S. IV K - 12 c/4l. Supplements: - Despite the transport difficulties, the repair work on the road Lodönitz-Karlstein could be carried out to the extent that the local relocations and improvements in the course of the road, except for the construction of a new bridge in Bubowitz, are before completion. The above mentioned bridge is expected to be accessible later this month. After the delivery of the stone material was secured, the production of the top layer was started on 5.6. The completion of the entire 13 km long rolling is to be expected with certainty on l8.7. Following the rolling, the application of a surface treatment by tar painting is to take place. As far as the track is in steep gradient, a continuous treatment with chlorine calcium is provided for for the purpose of dust binding. Unless unexpected difficulties occur when the material required for surface treatment (tea, chlorine calcium, splitt) is transported, final completion of the roadway is to be expected by the end of August at the latest. The ancillary work, such as the installation of the necessary edge protection, the fitting of trenches and banquets, the setting up of traffic signs, etc., will be carried out immediately after the completion of the rolling. At the same time as repairing the road, I have also ordered an improvement of the access path from the Protectorate road to the entrance to the castle. These works have led to the opinion in various places, in particular at the Memorial Office in Prague, that the large excursion buses and passenger cars of the excursion traffic should go in the future to the courtyard of the castle. I have repeatedly answered this question in relation to the fact that the improvement work on the access road from the Protectorate road to Karlstein Castle serves only the purpose of eliminating the neglected conditions on this access road. This access road will in future still be blocked for all public transport. Commissioned by Sauep 2/7 10/+ St. .T K-12 A142
