Track Renewals in the Vienna Public Transport Network: These Lines Are Affected
Starting Tuesday, February 11, the tram tracks at Franz-Jonas-Platz in Floridsdorf will be renewed. The work will bring hardly any restrictions for passengers: Lines 25, 26, and 31 will have an earlier end of service by about half an hour to an hour until the end of June.
1,800 Meters of New Tracks for Hütteldorfer Straße
On Hütteldorfer Straße, around 1,800 meters need to be replaced this year. In the course of the work, Wiener Linien will also improve the Johnstraße and Breitensee stops. The track work will start on February 24 in the area of the Johnstraße intersection. Lines 46 and 52 will take over most of the route of the 49er, which cannot operate during the track renewal. Tram line 46 will extend beyond Joachimsthalerplatz to the Hütteldorfer Straße stop and take over the route of line 49 to Hütteldorf, Bujattigasse. Line 52 will continue from Westbahnhof to Urban-Loritz-Platz and on the route of line 49 to Ring, Volkstheater. Passengers can also switch to the U3 between Hütteldorfer Straße and Gürtel.
In the second construction phase, which lasts from April to June, work will be done in the Breitensee area between Leyserstraße and Matzingerstraße. During this period, line 52 will take over parts of the 49er's route: From Baumgarten to Hütteldorf, Bujattigasse and from Westbahnhof to Ring, Volkstheater. The replacement bus 49E will cover the Seckendorfstraße and Hütteldorfer Straße, Lützowgasse stops and serve as a connection to line 52.
Passengers can also switch to the dense network of tram and bus lines as well as extensively to the U3, U4, and rapid transit lines. A shuttle service for people with mobility impairments will also be set up between Hütteldorfer Straße U and Hütteldorfer Straße, Lützowgasse.
Modernizations at Vienna U1 and U4
While the switch replacement in the Spittelau area on the U6 has already been successfully completed, work is still being done on the bridge structure of the U4 at Friedensbrücke. Since the work is taking place on one track side at a time, the U4 can maintain operations from Hütteldorf to Heiligenstadt despite the extensive work, but every second train ends at Schwedenplatz. The restrictions will last until February 26, after which every train will run on the entire route again.
In Kagran, the modernization work on the foundation and surface of the platform is entering the second round. This time, the platform in the direction of Oberlaa is being worked on. As in the previous year, trains have been passing through the station without stopping on this side since February 10 until the end of June. Monday to Thursday from 11:00 PM, the U1 can only run on one track in both directions in Kagran. Therefore, on these weekdays in the evening, only every second train runs beyond Praterstern to Leopoldau at a 12-minute interval.
