New Bike Path on Vienna's Neubaugürtel is Here
The two-way bike path on Neubaugürtel in Vienna has been implemented. Previously, cyclists had to cross the Gürtel twice and pass numerous traffic lights if they wanted to go straight. On the 250 meters between Stollgasse and Mariahilfer Straße/Christian-Broda-Platz on the inner Gürtel side, colorfully designed concrete barriers are intended to ensure a safe separation from car traffic, said Mobility Councillor Ulli Sima (SPÖ) on Wednesday.
Vienna Neubaugürtel: Lane turned into bike path
For the redesign, the outer lane, which had been closed for 1.5 years due to construction, was converted into a bike path. During this time, it was also shown that three lanes for cars and trucks in this area of the Gürtel are sufficient for smooth traffic.
"An important step for the enhancement of the Gürtel bike path and also implemented pragmatically, quickly, and cost-effectively," said NEOS mobility spokesperson Angelika Pipal-Leixner, who inaugurated the new bike path together with Sima.
