Vienna Mobil: underground and tram in 2025 in renovation fever!

The Viennese lines will rely on extensive renovation and modernization work for the subway, especially the oldest line in the city, the U4. From January 2025 there is a partial lock: the trains cannot drive between Schottenring and Friedensbrücke. Instead, a rail replacement traffic is set up with the new line E4 from Nußdorf to Schottenring. This construction work is part of a long-term plan to secure the infrastructure for the next few decades, such as oe24.at reported.

The U4 has been continuously modernized since 2014, which is considered the largest modernization project in the history of the Viennese subway. The renewal not only includes the exchange of tracks and soft, but also comprehensive work on tunnels that have been designed for the next 100 years. In order not to disturb the daily passengers, a large part of the work takes place at night. In 2025, a total of 6.3 million euros will be invested in new elevators and escalators. This will further improve the accessibility of the subway stations, such as wienerlinien.at Notes.

timetable changes and other construction projects

From mid -January to the end of February 2025, the U4 will only run between Swedenplatz and Heiligenstadt every half hour. With the U1, passengers in Kagran have to expect an interruption from March to July, since the platform is renewed here. The U6 gets new course during the semester and autumn holidays, which will also lead to temporary restrictions. In order to increase the quality of the network, the tram network will also be expanded and renewed, whereby eleven kilometers of tracks and 45 new switches are to be installed in 2025.
