Project for Construction of Lobau Tunnel
The Lobau Tunnel is "extremely important for the federal capital and the eastern region. Therefore, the necessary implementation will certainly take place," Hanke was quoted in the interview.
Lobau Tunnel to be "Realized as Quickly as Possible"
In the government program of the coalition of ÖVP, SPÖ, and NEOS published on Thursday, the construction of highways and expressways that already have approval was announced. They are to be "realized as quickly as possible," it said - however, the controversial project was not mentioned by name, only the "S1 Spange" was mentioned. This is the highway branch that would connect the Seestadt with the S1 following the city street. Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) had stopped the construction of the Vienna Lobau Tunnel at the end of 2021.
Hanke Recommends SPÖ to Change Approaches
Hanke also commented on the struggle for ministerial posts within the SPÖ in recent days. When asked whether these "power games on the open stage" would prevent political disenchantment, Hanke said, "every party must change these approaches with seriousness. And I would also recommend that to my party." His relationship with the SPÖ leader Andreas Babler, who is intended for the Vice-Chancellor's office, will "in any case be permanently professional."
