Major Construction Sites on the Gürtel and Spittelauer Lände Cause Significant Traffic Jams in Vienna
The traffic situation in the north of Vienna is tense: As reported by ÖAMTC, two adjacent construction sites in the 9th and 19th districts are currently causing significant traffic jams and time losses. Particularly affected are commuter routes along the Gürtel and the Spittelauer Lände.
Restrictions on the Spittelauer Lände
As part of the construction of a new pedestrian and bicycle path, one lane is closed on the Spittelauer Lände between Tepserngasse and Friedensbrücke. The construction work is expected to last until the end of August. ÖAMTC reports that vehicle queues sometimes back up to the Danube bank motorway (A22) in the Floridsdorf junction area. Drivers reported waiting times of up to 40 minutes on this section alone.
Traffic chaos on the Inner Währinger Gürtel
There are also significant disruptions on the Inner Währinger Gürtel. Due to track work, two lanes are closed in the Nußdorfer Straße area. Passage from Döblinger Hauptstraße to Nußdorfer Straße is currently not possible. The result: kilometer-long traffic jams stretching back to Alser Straße. The Heiligenstädter Lände, Döblinger Hauptstraße, Billrothstraße, and Nußdorfer Straße are also affected.
High burden from diversion traffic
Since the two construction sites are located close to each other, the traffic problems are mutually reinforcing. The diversion traffic additionally leads to delays on the Gürtel ramp, Adalbert-Stifter-Straße, and Reichsbrücke. ÖAMTC recommends bypassing the affected areas on a large scale and planning more time for trips in these zones.
