History

On April 3, 2015, a driver veered off the side of the road near Angelsberg, hitting a tree.[1] On May 6, 2016, an accident happened in a similar manner on the same road,[2] prompting the Ministry of Infrastructure to announce new security measures for the road, including new guardrails and more visible warning signs. François Bausch, the Minister of Infrastructure stated that "these measures will be completed as soon as possible".[3]
