A23: The Favoriten exit is closed for two weeks – there is a risk of traffic jams!
Starting next Monday, July 7, 2025, the exit from the A23 to the Favoriten junction heading south will be closed for two weeks. This closure begins at 10:00 p.m. and lasts until 5:00 a.m. on July 21, 2025. The reason for the closure is urgent demolition work on the retaining wall in the direction of Altmannsdorf, which has become necessary due to over 40 years of use, reported oe24.
The A23, also known as the Südosttangente, is considered the busiest road in Austria and attracts around 230,000 vehicles every day, especially in the Prater Hochstraße area. This traffic artery stretches over 17.8 kilometers, starting in Altmannsdorf and ending in Hirschstetten. A comprehensive renovation of the section between the Prater junction and the Handelskai junction is currently taking place in both directions, but unfortunately it is also causing some traffic jams.
Traffic disruptions and alternative routes
It's not just the exit to the distribution circle that is affected by the construction work. Traffic continues to be hindered by a change in traffic routing at the construction sites between Kagran and Vösendorf. It is advisable to closely monitor the current traffic information staumelder-karte.at shows.
Historical context and future developments
The A23 was opened in several sections, the first dating back to December 19, 1970. In recent years the expansion has continued continuously, which has significantly improved the transport infrastructure in Vienna. The Inzersdorf junction and the Favoriten distribution circle in particular are well-known traffic jams that repeatedly cause traffic disruptions oeamtc.
