Bim Chaos in Vienna: Total Closure on Rennweg Brings Lines 71 and 18 to a Halt
At Vienna Rennweg, traffic for tram lines 71 and 18 will be completely closed due to track construction work. This measure has far-reaching effects on the entire traffic in the surrounding area.
Tram Lines 71 and 18 Not Running - Replacement Bus Also Affected by Closure
The closure leads to extensive diversions, which also affect the replacement bus 71E. In the future, it will only run to the St. Marx station. The stations Litfaßstraße, Molitorgasse, Zippererstraße, and Hauffgasse will be completely omitted. However, at some stops, a transfer to the U3 is still possible, while other stations no longer offer a direct connection.
Currently, the "71er" only runs between Enkplatz and Kaiserebersdorf. According to Wiener Linien, there are alternatives to ensure connection to the public transport network.
Wiener Linien Points to Alternative Options
Wiener Linien emphasizes that despite the restrictions, the connection of the 3rd and 11th districts is still provided by the U3 as well as the replacement bus 71E and the bus lines 74A, 77A, and 80A. A shuttle bus between U3 Schlachthausgasse and St. Marx is also intended to help mitigate mobility restrictions. In the vicinity of the affected stops, there are connection options to the Vienna public transport network within 200 to 550 meters.
