Möriken-Wildegg, Auenstein, Holderbank, Niederlenz, Rupperswil, Veltheim and the canton of Aargau are jointly assessing a bypass.¹² They held their first steering meeting on 24 October 2024. There, they agreed on the approach and the project organisation.¹² The study examines whether a bypass around Möriken-Wildegg makes sense.¹² On 17 September 2026, the municipality announced the end of the second phase of that assessment.¹³ According to the municipality, the planning results are expected by the end of 2026.¹²
