Tracking in Vienna: Line 43 to September diverted!

From June 15, 2025, Jörger Straße in Vienna will become the scene of extensive track work on the Viennese lines. These measures not only bring about a detour for tram line 43, but also effects on line 9. The construction work is expected to continue until September 2025, which is why commuters and passengers have to adjust to new changes in the public transport network. As reported 5min.at, line 43 between Neuwaldegg and Elterleinplatz will run as usual, but will be redirected from Elterleinplatz. During this time, the city center is not directly accessible for line 43.

Line 9, which only drives between Westbahnhof and Rosensteingasse during this construction phase, is similarly affected. In order to enable passengers to travel to the city center, the Viennese lines recommend alternative connections. Line 42 is particularly helpful, which offers a transfer option between line 42 and 43 at the Vinzenzgasse stop. This option is ideal to get to the city center or the U6. In addition, lines 2 and 44 use additional vehicles to maintain the usual service.

construction projects throughout Vienna

Not only in Jörger Strasse, but also on other construction sites. In Hütteldorfer Straße there are 1,750 meters of track change in the course of the year to eliminate slow driving points. These measures started on April 7 and run by the end of June or early July 2025. In the meantime, line 49 is discontinued, but line 52 is extended to maintain traffic. According to the Vienna lines, the U3 will serve as an alternative route and cover the route of the now set line 49.

The summer months are also characterized by extensive infrastructure moderation. For example, between June 28 and September 1, the Vienna S-Bahn between Floridsdorf and Praterstern is blocked. The highlight is also the partial closure of the U4 between Friedensbrücke and Schottenring, with a replacement road railway E4 between Nußdorf and Schottenring being set up. In addition, passengers can fall back on special ÖBB buses in rail replacement. The Presse Vienna offers more information about this.

FAZIT

The ongoing renovation work on the Vienna Transport Network is a strong sign of modernization and the expansion of the infrastructure. Even if the diversions and blocks have inconvenience, this is necessary to ultimately improve the quality and efficiency of public transport. Passengers should regularly find out about the changes and fall back on well -developed alternatives to make their trips in the city as smoothly as possible.
