📋 Tender Overview
Since June, MA 29 has been renovating the Augarten Bridge, which dates back to 1931 and is an important transport link over the Danube Canal. As part of the project, the track area of line 31 on the Augarten Bridge was also renewed, meaning the tram could not run between Wallensteinstrasse and Schottenring and lanes also had to be closed. The good news: The traffic situation will improve when school starts.
From September 2, 2024, tram line 31 and 2 lanes towards Obere Donaustrasse will be available again on the downstream side. One of these lanes will be mixed in the direction of Augartenstrasse/Obere Donaustrasse. The downstream footpath and cycle path will also be available. The work will therefore shift to the upstream side, where the footpath and cycle path and the lanes there will be closed. The paths along the Danube Canal will be narrowed by scaffolding, but will remain wide enough for use by pedestrians and cyclists. 6 m wide two-way cycle path is coming As part of the bridge repairs, the pedestrian and cycle infrastructure will also be improved and a 6-meter wide two-way cycle path and separate footpath will be built in the direction out of the city.
This will give cyclists and pedestrians more space to move forward safely and comfortably in the future. In order to exploit synergies, work will be integrated at the same time on the installations and on the adjacent plateaus Obere Donaustrasse and Rossauer Lande. The planned end of construction for the Augartenbrucke project is scheduled for summer 2025.
