Vienna Schleifgasse: Renewed Renovation Necessary Due to Poor Construction Execution

The Schleifgasse is located between the Floridsdorf train station and the Schlingermarkt and was redesigned in 2023 as part of a "climate-friendly" renovation. However, after completion, defects were found in the roadway area. The responsible municipal department for road construction found that the gravel bedding, which serves as the base for the paving stones, was not properly laid. These defects affect the load-bearing capacity of the roadway.
Renovation of Schleifgasse in Vienna-Floridsdorf: Necessary Measures to Repair the Damage
Due to the identified damages, a comprehensive renovation of the roadway between Angerer Straße and Pitkagasse is required. In this context, the entire paving structure and the damaged gravel bedding must be removed and renewed. Despite the necessary work, the sidewalks remain accessible to pedestrians during the renovation.
Financing and Responsibility
An important aspect of the renovation is that it is not financed from the district budget. The responsibility for the defects lies with the construction company that carried out the work. Under the statutory warranty, the construction company is obliged to cover the costs of the renovation. The work is currently underway and is expected to be completed by September 15. During this time, the affected sections of Schleifgasse are closed to traffic.
