Vienna Night Run: Closures and Restrictions in Public Transport

On Thursday, September 25, 2025, the Vienna Night Run will take place in Vienna. For this major sporting event, the city center must be extensively closed to car traffic. According to the ÖAMTC, the Ring and the Franz-Josefs-Kai will be impassable between 7:30 PM and 10:30 PM.

Crossings only possible to a limited extent

According to the ÖAMTC, crossing opportunities exist only at certain points – such as over the Danube Canal bridges or central access roads like Kärntner Straße or Schottengasse. These openings depend on the progress of the race.

Traffic jams expected on alternative routes

The traffic experts of the ÖAMTC expect massive delays on all inner-city alternative routes. Particularly affected, according to estimates, are the Zweierlinie, the Obere and Untere Donaustraße, the Praterstraße, the Roßauer Lände, the Rennweg, as well as streets in districts 4 to 9 – such as Prinz-Eugen-Straße, Wiedner Hauptstraße, Rechte Wienzeile, Burggasse, and Währinger Straße.

It is recommended to bypass the area around the city center extensively – ideally via the Gürtel or directly via the Südosttangente (A23).

Restrictions on Wiener Linien

There will also be restrictions in public transport from 6:30 PM until the end of service on lines D, 1, 2, 31, 71, 1A, 2A, 3A, and 74A. An overview of all important closures can be found here:
