Vienna becomes green: Universitätsstraße shines in new splendor after renovation!

The university road in Vienna shines in new splendor after months of renovation work and is now completely released for traffic. Where previously narrow multi -purpose strips and gray asphalt dominated, there are now wide bike paths, plenty of green and improved space for pedestrians. This conversion was necessary to design the surface accordingly for the new U5 subway line, which will enrich Vienna from 2026. Particular attention was paid to the new, structurally separate bike paths. An impressive two-way bike path with three meters width now extends over a length of 400 meters in the middle of the university road, while the existing bike path along the Sigmund-Freud Park was significantly widened how today.at reported.

New traffic management and improvements for local public transport

The redesign affects not only the university road, but also the adjacent Alser Straße, where new structurally separate bike paths are created. The work should be completed from December 20. Meanwhile, tram lines 43 and 44 have been short -lived since April to support this process. In the future, the new U5 Frankhplatz subway station will enable a direct switch without having to cross the road. This should offer the daily 30,000 users of these trams a faster and more reliable connection. The planning councilor Ulli Sima emphasized that the renovation should set a strong sign of more greening and a better microclimate in the city, such as meinzirk.at reported.

In the future, new drinking fountains and green spaces on University Straße will ensure that this area will not only be functional, but also visually appealing. Vienna thus takes an important step towards modern mobility and sustainable urban planning.
