Massive U4 lock until September: New ways for Viennese passengers!
Floridsdorf, Österreich - The Viennese will have to adapt to extensive traffic disruptions in public transport in the coming weeks.

These measures are part of a larger program to improve the rail infrastructure and are expected to last until September 1st. reports that the U4 does not drive between Schottenring and Friedensbrücke during this period.
At the S-Bahn, passengers between Praterstern and Floridsdorf cannot run. For them, however, a rail replacement traffic was set up, which ensures the connection through a yellow direct bus between these two points without intermediate stops. There is also a blue bus that operates all stops along the route. This should enable passengers to avoid the restrictions as pleasantly as possible.
extensive modernization work
The closures are part of a large -scale renovation campaign that is carried out by the Viennese lines and above all concerns the U4. This route is over 120 years old, which is why the work on the tunnel infrastructure and other areas are of high urgency.
