Summer construction sites 2025: Vienna is shown in construction fever!

The summer of 2025 will be all about numerous construction sites in Vienna. These low -traffic months are used in a targeted manner to advance various major projects and improve the city's infrastructure. The construction sites affect not only drivers, but also users of public transport and cyclists. This can be seen from current information from the city of Vienna, as 5min.at reported.

One of the most important construction sites is the renovation of the Brigittenau bridge, which starts on July 1, 2025. Ten road crossings over a length of 281 meters are renewed here. The work is carried out in sections, so that a lane always remains open. Most of the walking and bicycle traffic remains upright, but restrictions cannot be avoided. The completion of the bridge is planned for May 2026.

track work and cycle path expansion

Another large chunk is the track work that begins through the Viennese lines on June 24, 2025. Comprehensive track renewals on the Carinthian Ring, Schwarzenbergplatz and University ring are on the plan. Depending on the construction progress, it will be possible to keep two lanes open, but unfortunately there are also interruptions in tram line 43, which is affected between the 16th and 30th June by short tours and restricted operation. The work on the ring is until the end of August, which is planned at Schwarzenbergplatz until September 7th.

Not only in the area of ​​the tracks is invested. The expansion of the cycle paths is also a central topic. A new mixed walking and bike path is being built in the Spittelauer Lände, and traffic islands are also being converted and new protection paths are created on Altmannsdorfer Strasse, Anton-Baumgartner-Straße and on Atzgersdorfer Platz. In addition, new crossings on the Hernals belt and wheel strips on Wagramer Straße are planned. An innovative two-direction cycle path will enrich Wintzingerodestrasse.

other major projects and their challenges

In addition to the Brigittenau bridge and the track work, there are other exciting major projects. The renovation of the canal on the Hernals belt is carried out in July and August, some of which will only be possible. On Julius-Standler-Platz and Alserbachstrasse, a greening and increasing quality of stay will be worked on, the completion is planned for December. Work on the stadium bridge also goes into the next phase: they start in August and will continue until 2026.

During these extensive construction work, the Viennese must adapt to lane reductions, blocks as well as changed timetables and diversions. Therefore, it is advisable to follow the current information on the website bauste.wien.at

The summer of 2025 will not only be a challenge for many commuters, but also an opportunity to make the city of Vienna more colorful and worth living. Despite the inconvenience that construction sites have, the city will ultimately benefit from when these projects are completed and the infrastructure will be better for everyone.
