📋 Tender Overview
Construction work on the extension of line 18 in the second district began at the beginning of June. Line 18 will now run from the U2 Stadion station across the city to the U6 Burggasse-Stadthalle station. Such large-scale infrastructure projects are unfortunately not possible without restrictions, so bus line 77A has had to be diverted. Thanks to the great effort of all those involved in the project, it has now been possible to adapt current construction phases once again and optimize them for the benefit of those seeking recreation. This year, during the summer holidays, bus line 77A will once again run towards Rennweg via Meiereistrasse and Stadionallee. Passengers can also take the 77A from the Stadionbad swimming pool at Schlachthausgasse to the U3. From Saturday, June 28, until the end of August, public transport passengers can travel from the second district to the Stadionbad stop near Hauptallee in the Prater, then continue on the U3 Schlachthausgasse to the Rennweg S-Bahn station. Access to the Stadionbad by bus is only possible in the direction of Rennweg - due to the construction work, the bus cannot travel from the third district through the Prater to the Stadionbad stop. From the third district towards the second district, the 77A will continue to be diverted between Ludwig-Koessler-Platz and Donaumarina via the A23. During the summer holidays, the bus line will stop at the Marathonweg, U2 Stadion, Stadionbad, and Klaschkaweg stops in the direction of Rennweg; the Ernst-Happel-Stadion and Pierre-de-Coubertin-Platz stops cannot be served due to the construction work. From September 1, 2025, the 77A line will again be diverted via the A23 in both directions. The direct bus connection from Hauptallee/Meiereistrasse will then no longer be available due to the construction work. The Prater and the Stadionbad will continue to be publicly connected via the U2 Stadion station. With the commissioning of line 18, Vienna's climate-efficient public transport offering will be further expanded. The extended tram line creates an attractive public transport axis from Leopoldstadt to the west of Vienna. In the future, line 18 will run from the U2 Stadion station to the U6 Burggasse-Stadthalle station, offering numerous interchanges with the subway, the main train station, and the S-Bahn. Wiener Linien will provide ongoing information on the construction work on line 18 via its website and a specially set up information point.
