Public traffic: important changes and restart in Vienna until December

The Viennese subway will be affected by considerable restrictions, mainly affect lines U2 and U4. These measures are part of ongoing modernization work that is necessary to improve the city's infrastructure. From now on there are different changes in driving operations that affect the commuters and travelers in the greater Vienna area.

The U4 will only run at larger intervals during this time. The Alserbach Bridge will be repaired by the end of December, which means that only every second train goes to Heiligenstadt. These construction measures are necessary to ensure that the bridge can continue to carry traffic in the future.

Likewise, the U2 is only used between the Seestadt and Schottentor stations. The section between Schottentor and Karlsplatz will probably not be in operation by the end of 2024. This restriction has a direct impact on numerous passengers that are dependent on this connection.

To compensate for the lack of service, various replacement offers are provided. The U1 line is reinforced and there will also be a new U2Z tram line, which should reduce the lack of traffic. In addition, lines D, 1, 2 and 71 are also adapted to the changed circumstances to support travelers in the best possible way.

These changes in the subway lines are in the context of a more comprehensive plan to modernize public transport in Vienna and increase the quality of service. In the future, these measures will lead to more smooth and efficient local transport. For detailed information on the ongoing changes, a look at www.oeastc.at .
