Further Section of the Vienna Bike Highway Completed
By summer 2025, the entire Vienna mega cycle highway including a street park in Wagramer Straße should be completed. The up to four meters wide, physically separated and greened two-way cycle path will then extend continuously from Urania via Aspernbrückengasse, Praterstraße, Lassallestraße, Reichsbrücke and Wagramer Straße to Kagraner Platz and beyond to Am langen Felde.
New Section of the Vienna Cycle Highway Already Accessible
In October, the nearly 100 meter long section of the last stretch on Wagramer Straße from Am Langen Felde to Donaufelderstraße was completed. The next piece follows on foot or tire: The cycle path between Steigenteschgasse and Siebeckstraße is now also accessible, it is over 500 meters long and also about four meters wide here. Design elements such as fog steles or benches and also the green spaces will only be erected or filled.
Vienna Cycle Highway Enters the Final Stage in Spring
In the next and final part of the mega cycle highway on Wagramer Straße, the section between Steigenteschgasse and Kagraner Platz will follow from spring to summer 2025 - then the cycle path is completed. The work is in full swing.
Following the motto "Out of the asphalt", greening and tree planting are also being focused on as part of the redesign of Wagramer Straße, in order to create a climate-fit environment for all road users. Specifically, 8,100 square meters of new green spaces will be created, around 100 new trees and 60 high-stem shrubs will be planted and numerous rest areas will be created.
Comprehensive Greening Through Street Park and Around 100 New Trees
A special highlight will be a more than 250 meter long "street park" between Steigenteschgasse and Wintzingerodestraße. The completion of the street park is also expected to take place in the summer, to provide optimal growth conditions for the trees, bushes, and grasses. Light paving in unbound construction will increase the proportion of unsealed area by a further 8,700 square meters in the future. The light surface prevents the sun's rays from significantly heating the ground. The two car lanes per direction of travel will continue to exist.
Detailed Route of the 1st Viennese Bike Highway
Those who want to cycle from the Inner City to Kagraner Platz can first take the Aspernbrücke, Aspernbrückengasse and Praterstraße on a more than 4 meter wide two-way bike path to Praterstern. The section in Aspernbrückengasse and Praterstraße has been completed since the end of last year, and the one on the Aspernbrücke has been passable since summer.
From Praterstern, the route continues through Lassallestraße to Reichsbrücke - also on a more than 4 meter wide two-way bike path, which was already completed in spring 2023.
In Wagramer Straße, the section from Arbeiterstrandbadstraße to Donauzentrum - including Kagraner Bridge - was also opened in 2023.
On the final stage, you finally reach along Wagramer Straße past Donauzentrum to Kagraner Platz. This section has been implemented since spring 2024 and is expected to be completed by summer 2025. A section at Kagraner Platz has been passable since October.
