📋 Tender Overview
Viennas mobility councilor Ulli Sima welcomes the current announcements by Transport Minister Hanke to get the gap in the regions ring in the north of Vienna: Every larger city in Austria and Europe does not have a bypass, only the 2 million city of Vienna. We have already lost a lot of time by the S1 stop by the former green transport minister Leonore Gewessler, to buy people from the incomprehensible transit load Free and promote the climate of urban development in Vienna, said Sima in a first reaction.
S1 ends Verkehrsholle in the Donaustadt
The S1 brings the long -planned and urgently needed gap in the so -called regions ring around Vienna. He leads the transit traffic around the city and relieves the south -east tangent, the highway in Austria. A current report by ASFINAG illustrates the daily traffic hollows on the tangent: 195,000 vehicles are on a classic working day in the St. Marx Prater section, at peak times there are even over 220,000. The cars stand standing for 5.5 hours every day. One problem in itself is the massive truck traffic of 4 million vehicles per year, of which around one million on the passage, i.e. transit trucks. We need the bypass and a 6th Danube crossing to relieve traffic and above all from transit traffic, which in the future should no longer thunder through the city, said Sima. Without S1, the entire transit traffic - from the Baltic States to the Adriatic - continues to run in the middle of Vienna, which is unacceptable.
70,000 fewer vehicles a day on the tangent
According to the current calculations of the ARBO, the north -east bypass brings a relief of the tangent of 70,000 cars a day. You could then consider blocking the tangent for transit traffic and reserving a lane for e-buses or bicycles, said the city councilor. This would massively relieve the numerous residents in particular of districts 22, 23.2.3.10 and 11 that are affected by traffic on the tangent. But without 6th Danube crossing this is not implementable, since the next crossing after the Vienna Prater Bridge is only 48 kilometers downstream. Sima also welcomes the Hankes plan to bring truck driven out of the city through smart traffic solutions from the Southeast Tangent.
Continue to the climate of urban development - finally revitalize desert gobi
The Stop of the S1 by the Green Ex-Minister not only prevented the long-awaited traffic relief, it also delays the urgently needed climate in urban development in the northeast of Vienna and the construction of affordable living space. We did our homework in Vienna and massively expanded the publications in the Donaustadt, there will be the subway, quick trains, buses and trams. From October 6th, another line will take another line, the new line 27 from Aspern Nord to Streibersdorf. In addition, we have implemented the parking space management across the board. But it also needs a street connection for a new urban development area, in which around 60,000 people in the future - approximately as many as Polten - should live, said the city councilor.
Together with the city road under construction, the Spange S1 is the prerequisite for the full expansion of the Seestadt Aspern with apartments for around 20,000 people! Stadtstrasse and S1 clip in the urban development CRP are mandatory for the construction of the Seestadt Nord. Without these apartments there is a shortage of housing and thus higher housing costs across Vienna. The construction of these affordable and climate -like apartments with district heating connection and little soil consumption should have started long ago. With a finger snap, thousands of new, affordable, urgently needed apartments could be built. The complete infrastructure in the Seestadt is available, the developers have been in the starting blocks and have been waiting for years to finally build, the only thing missing is that the street connection is missing.
The City Councilor for Urban Development hopes that movement will quickly get into the matter. Todays decision is an important and decisive step by the Minister of Mobility, who is committed to this project that is so important for Vienna and the entire Eastern region, says Sima. And further: We finally want to start with the further construction of climate -friendly apartments for the growing city and also relieve the Viennese from transit traffic. Vienna does its homework, extends the public transport massively, reduces traffic and relies on traffic calming in the residential areas. A bypass of the city to relieve transit traffic is overdue and, fortunately, is now launched, says Sima.
