U4 station Landstrasse closed for six weeks – this is how you avoid the construction site!
From Monday, September 22nd, there will be no service to the Landstrasse subway station in Vienna for six weeks. This measure begins just in time for the astronomical start of autumn and affects the U4, one of the most important lines in Vienna's transport network. The station will be closed until November 2nd and trains will pass through this stop, which will mean a change for many passengers.
What can passengers do? There is a practical solution to avoid the closed station: Passengers should continue one station to Schwedenplatz and change there in the opposite direction. This means that the connection to the U4 remains secure, even if it means a few detours. The standard reports that the modernization work is extensive and also includes replacing the flooring.
Modernization work
In particular, the previous asphalt surface will be replaced by a light granite floor, which is not only more visually appealing but also ensures better durability. In addition, the “tactile floor information system” for people with visual impairments will be modernized. Such measures are important to further increase accessibility in public transport and improve safety standards. Good news for everyone who values comfortable and safe mobility!

There, passengers can read everything important about conversions and diversions and plan accordingly.

Although construction sites often bring inconveniences, it is important not to lose sight of the positive aspects. These modernization measures serve the safety and comfort of all passengers and help make the public transport system in Vienna fit for the future. It will be interesting to see what other projects we have coming up to improve public transport in the federal capital!
