Cycle Path Gap Closure at Liesingbach

The Liesingbach bike path currently ends at Riegermühle. A new, 500-meter-long two-way bike path will be built along Brunner Straße from Breitenfurter Straße to Erlaaer Straße. It runs on the eastern side and switches to the western side up to Meisgeyergasse, where it connects to existing paths. Additionally, a one-way bike path will be created from the intersection of Brunner Straße/Erlaaer Straße along Atzgersdorfer Platz to Breitenfurter Straße.

Liesingbach Bike Path Gap Closure: Green Spaces and Modernization of the Bus Stop

In the area of Erlaaer Straße/Atzgersdorfer Platz, new green spaces with three new trees and shrubs will also be created. Simultaneously with the project-related measures, the roadway of Erlaaer Straße just before the intersection with Brunner Straße (in the direction out of town) and the roadway of Brunner Straße between Atzgersdorfer Platz and Reklewskigasse will be renewed due to age-related damage. Furthermore, the bus stop "Brunner Straße/Erlaaer Straße" of bus line 62A in the direction of Breitenfurter Straße will be modernized.

During the construction work on Brunner Straße in the direction out of town, left turns into Erlaaer Straße are not permitted. The bus stop of line 60A "Brunner Straße/Erlaaer Straße" in the direction of Carlbergergasse will be temporarily moved a few meters out of town. During the work on Brunner Straße in the direction into town, two lanes and all traffic connections will remain. While the bus stop "Brunner Straße/Erlaaer Straße" of line 62A in the direction of Breitenfurter Straße is being renewed, this stop will be temporarily relocated a few meters against the direction of travel.

From July 1, 2025, two lanes and all turning options will be available at Atzgersdorfer Platz in the direction of Brunner Straße. Also, on Brunner Straße in the direction into town, one lane with all turning options will remain open. The bus stop of line 60A "Brunner Straße/Erlaaer Straße" in the direction of Carlbergergasse will be discontinued without replacement until the end of the holidays. The third construction phase begins in September, and information will be provided in a timely manner.

Bike Path Initiative in Vienna in Full Swing

By the end of the legislative period, the progress coalition has realized or planned over 250 projects and almost 100 km in the main network of bike paths, and has invested approximately 130 million euros in Vienna's cycling infrastructure. In the district network, more than 50 km of cycling infrastructure have also been implemented. These intensive efforts are showing results: the number of cyclists is continuously increasing. According to the 2024 modal split survey, the share of trips made by bike has risen to 11%, compared to 7% in 2019. All information about the bike path projects in Vienna can be found here.
