📋 Tender Overview
The Brigittenau Bridge is an important connection between the 20th and 21st districts. More than 40 years after its opening, repair work is necessary to ensure this heavily used connection remains fit for the coming decades. Starting July 1, 2025, the City of Vienna - Bridge Construction and Foundation Engineering will begin the renovation to ensure long-term functionality and traffic safety for all road users. Several repair measures are planned, including the replacement of the roadway expansion joints in the supporting structure. These will be replaced with new, durable structures. A total of 10 such structures are affected, extending over a total length of 281 meters. In addition, local repair measures are planned for the supporting structure, and concrete repair work will be carried out on the abutments and supports. Furthermore, the bicycle spiral in the Handelskai area will be repaired to improve safety and functionality for cyclists. "Continuing the bridge repair program is an important step to ensure the safety and longevity of our infrastructure. With the planned measures on the Brigittenau Bridge, we are sending a clear signal for the future of traffic safety in Vienna," said Wolfgang Strenn, Head of the City of Vienna's Department of Bridge Construction and Foundation Engineering. "At the same time, we are ensuring that the connection can be used even during the work." Bridge open to pedestrians and cyclists Important for all pedestrians and cyclists: Pedestrian and bicycle traffic will remain open throughout the construction period, although there may be temporary width restrictions. The work will be carried out in several phases, beginning with the direction of travel towards the 20th district. Individual lanes will be closed alternately, but one lane will remain open in each direction at all times. For the lifting work and the installation of the roadway expansion structure, there will also be occasional nighttime closures of one lane at a time. After the work towards the 20th district is completed, the road towards the 21st district will be tackled in the same way. Completion of the repair work is scheduled for May 2026.
