Water pipes in Alserbachstrasse: traffic offenses from June!

Water pipes in Alserbachstrasse: traffic offenses from June!

Current construction sites are currently causing restrictions in the 9th Wiener district, especially in Alserbachstrasse. These measures started in February 2025 to ensure the water supply in Vienna in the long term. From June 4, 2025, Alserbachstraße will be closed into the city, while the direction of travel will continue to be passable. This means that road users have to expect diversions that lead to Nußdorfer Strasse via Liechtensteinstrasse and Viriotgasse. The residents can breathe a sigh of relief: access to Pfluggasse remains accessible for operations and construction vehicles, as vienna.at reports.

The construction work not only affects Alserbachstrasse itself, but also adjacent roads such as Nordbergstrasse and the area around the intersection with Julius-Standler-Platz. The focus is on the renewal of the water pipes, which is carried out in several construction phases. The renovation initiative is part of a larger project that has been running since 2021 and in which around 160 kilometers have been relocated to new lines to date. The conclusion of this phase of the work in Alserbachstrasse is planned for October 2025, with further road construction work will also follow by December 2025, so 5min.at.

adjustments in public transport

The changes on the streets also have an impact on public transport. The route guidance of the bus 40a and the N38 night bus is temporarily adjusted, and some stops fail during the construction work. While the work in Alserbachstrasse is mostly carried out at night in order to keep the impairments for the residents as low as possible, everyone who rely on public transport must count on temporary detours.

The city of Vienna strives not only to optimize water supply, but also to improve the wheel infrastructure. A structurally separate two-direction cycle path has been set up since April 2025, which is intended to serve as a central connection between the belt and the land on the Danube Canal. The completion of this new cycle path will also be sought until October 2025 and should enable cyclists to ensure safe and convenient traffic management, as explained.

Overall, the city invests around 100 million euros annually in the modernization of the water supply and thus in the quality of life of the Viennese. The 3rd main line north, which secures the water supply of many districts at around 8.5 kilometers length, is about to conclude what promises further relief for the existing network.
