Brigittenau bridge: Comprehensive renovation begins for a safe future!

Brigittenau, Wien, Österreich - The Brigittenau bridge, an essential connection between the 20th and 21st district of Vienna, faces comprehensive renovation. Since its opening in 1982, the bridge has made countless trips over the Danube possible, but now it is time to make it fit for the coming decades. The repair work that has been undertaken since July 1, 2025 have been the first major measures at the bridge in over 40 years. The completion of the renovation work for May 2026 is planned, as meinbezirk.at reports.

renovation measures in detail

A central element of the renovation is the exchange of ten road transition constructions that extend over a total length of 281 meters. Long -lived systems are used to better manage the current and future -expected traffic flow. In addition to this extensive exchange, numerous concrete repair work on the supports and opposites as well as local measures on the structure are also planned. Particular attention is also paid to the safety for cyclists: the bicycle ward in the Handelskai area is also repaired in order to improve the use for all road users. According to press.gv.at , the long-term functionality and traffic safety of the bridge.

construction site management and traffic situation

Despite the extensive work, the Brigittenau bridge remains open to traffic throughout the renovation. However, changing lane barriers can be expected, although at least one lane per direction remains accessible. According to the information from the ÖAMTC, no major traffic problems can be expected as long as this is guaranteed. After completing the work in the direction of 20th district, the road is processed in the direction of 21st district, whereby night locks from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. are also intended for selective assembly work.

The bridge remains usable throughout for pedestrians and cyclists, but temporary narrowing can occur. This was confirmed by the ots.at , which also indicates the importance of this work.

The City of Vienna promises to carry out the work as efficiently as possible and regularly informs about progress and any changes in construction site management. Detailed information is available on the website of the city of Vienna, where residents and road users can always find the latest news.
