Traffic chaos in Vienna: Stadium bridge is closed for weeks!

Von WOM

Stadionbrücke, 1020 Wien, Österreich - Vienna faces extensive traffic disruptions! The main traffic artery A23 is now becoming the construction site due to renovation work on Prater-Hochstrasse. As vienna.at , the south of the breakdown strips is temporarily used as a lane in the direction of travel, which creates an additional "trog lane". A speed limit of 60 km/h has been set up and it can be expected with considerable traffic jams, especially north. The construction site will be set up by March 22nd, and the disorders can be expected by the end of September.

At the same time, an unfortunate incident in January requires an urgently needed maintenance work in January, when a truck damaged the stadium bridge in an accident. According to meinbezirk.at , closures are planned in the next three extended weekends on the bridge and the underlying motorway ramp towards A4 and A23. The work is scheduled for the period from May 17th to 22nd, 26th to May 30th and 7th to 12th June. In order to minimize the traffic load, the renovation was targeted in time windows with less traffic.

During the repair, however, the foot and cycle paths on the stadium bridge remain passable. Traffic manager Christian Zant recommends using alternative routes via Landstraßer belt, St. Marx or Handelskai to avoid traffic jams. The diversion for bus lines is also adjusted to maintain public transport during the construction work.
