History
Were completed, the arch dam Zeuzier and Erdschüttdamm Proz - Riond in 1957.
Remarkable
Originally, the Simmental motorway should (then National Road N6) are guided over the Rawil pass into the Valais - a tunnel would come close to lie at the Tzeuzier Dam. Since in boreholes larger movements at the wall than expected occurred, not only the lake level was lowered; it was one of the reasons that the highway had been delayed for years until it was finally abandoned. With the Lötschberg base tunnel was completely obsolete.
