Vienna 2025: Major construction sites and bike-friendly redesigns start!
The summer of 2025 will be characterized by numerous construction sites in Vienna, affecting both drivers, public transport users and cyclists. The city is using the lower traffic months for extensive renovation and construction projects, which are scheduled to be completed by next year. The planning of these major projects was presented at a press conference at which construction site coordinator Christian Zant and Wolfgang Streib from MA 29 explained the most important projects. Every year there are around 600 small construction sites in Vienna, which add up to the larger projects. 5min reported
One of the most important measures is the renovation of the Brigittenau Bridge, which begins on July 1, 2025. The plan is to renew ten road crossings over a distance of 281 meters. The work will be carried out in sections, with one lane in each direction remaining open. In addition, walking and cycling traffic will continue, although restrictions are to be expected. Completion is scheduled for May 2026, which signals that Viennese pedestrians and cyclists will have to be patient for some time. My district reports
Track work and other construction projects
Comprehensive track renewals will begin on June 24, 2025 at Kärntner Ring, Schwarzenbergplatz and Universitätsring, which are expected to last until the end of August. During this time, two lanes will remain open depending on construction progress, which may lead to interruptions and short routes for tram line 43. In addition, track construction work in the area of the parliament and town hall square is planned from July. During the track work, passengers must expect changed timetables and interruptions. 5min reported
But it's not just the tracks that are being replaced, the cycle paths are also being renovated this summer. The city administration has announced a new mixed walking and cycling path in Spittelauer Lände, supplemented by the conversion of traffic islands and new protective paths in important streets such as Altmannsdorfer Straße, Anton-Baumgartner-Straße and Atzgersdorfer Platz. The new cycle lanes on Wagramer Straße and the two-way cycle path on Wintzingerodestraße are also debuting to make the city more cyclist-friendly. FahrradWien reports
Further developments in the city
There are also a few other major projects on the list: The renovation of the canal on the Hernalser Belt will be pushed forward in July and August, with some only being used at night. At Julius-Tandler-Platz and Alserbachstrasse, the quality of stay will be improved through greening measures, with completion by December. Work on the stadium bridge will also continue in August and last until 2026. There will continue to be a reduction in lanes and diversions, so that all road users will be required to adapt to the circumstances. 5min reported
