📋 Tender Overview
The Brigittenau bridge is an important connection between the 20th and 21st district. More than 40 years after the opening, repair work is necessary in order to make this much used connection fit for the next few decades. From July 1, 2025, the city of Vienna - bridge construction and basic construction begins with the renovation to ensure long -term functionality and traffic safety for all road users.
Several repair measures are planned, which includes the exchange of the road transition constructions in the expansion joints of the structure. These are replaced by new, durable constructions. A total of 10 such constructions are affected that extend over a total length of 281 meters. In addition, local repair measures are planned on the structure, and concrete repair work on the opposite and supports are carried out. In addition, the bicycle ward is repaired in the Handelskai area in order to improve safety and functionality for cyclists.
The continuation of the bridge repair program is an important step to ensure the security and longevity of our infrastructure. With the planned measures at the Brigittenau bridge, we are making a clear sign of the future of traffic safety in Vienna, said Wolfgang Strohn, department head of the city of Vienna - Bruckenbau and Grundbau. At the same time, we ensure that the connection can also be used during the work.
Bridge for pedestrians and cyclists open
Important for all pedestrians and cyclists: The walking and cycling traffic remains open throughout the construction period, even if there can be temporary width restrictions.
The work is carried out in several phases, starting with the direction of travel to the 20th district. Individual lanes are mutually blocked, but a lane always remains upright. For the objection or the installation of the road transition construction, there are also a few way to block a directional lane. After completing the work in the direction of 20th district, the roadway towards 21st district is started analogously. The completion of the repair work is planned for May 2026.
