Wiener Linien modernize U6 station Tscherttegasse

The 30-year-old U6 Tscherttegasse station is being expanded and made even more accessible with an additional elevator. The construction work will begin in mid-April and is expected to be completed by summer 2026.

U6 Tscherttegasse Station: New Elevator, Wider Platforms, and New Roofing

Wiener Linien continuously invests in the infrastructure of the public transport network to further improve the quality of life in Vienna. In addition to the construction of new tram and subway lines, existing routes are regularly modernized and optimized. "With the modernization of the Tscherttegasse station, Wiener Linien is investing around 10 million euros in better accessibility and reachability of the U6 station. An additional elevator, a new entrance, and a bridge shorten the paths for passengers when boarding and alighting," explains Alexandra Reinagl, CEO of Wiener Linien, regarding the comprehensive construction work.

In the future, wider platforms will provide more space for waiting, while new roofing will offer better protection from bad weather and sun. In April, the first work will begin on the platform side towards Floridsdorf. The platform will be widened, fully covered, and equipped with an elevator. In the fall, construction work will start on the other platform: A barrier-free access to the adjacent Miep-Gies-Park will better connect the Kabelwerk settlement area to the U6. In 2026, the renovation on the platform towards Siebenhirten will continue: The roofing will be expanded. The construction of a new bridge connecting both platforms will complete the project.

Start of Modernization of U6 Tscherttegasse Station

Between May 12 and December 2025, the U6 will only stop in the direction of Siebenhirten. The platform towards Floridsdorf will be passed through without stopping. Travelers coming from the south have the option to change to a train towards Siebenhirten in Meidling to reach the Tscherttegasse station. Passengers wishing to travel from Tscherttegasse to Floridsdorf can travel one station to Am Schöpfwerk and change to a train towards Floridsdorf there.

From February 2026, the opposite platform will be worked on. In the direction of Siebenhirten, the U6 will pass through without stopping. Travelers have the option to travel one station to Am Schöpfwerk and change in the opposite direction to reach the Tscherttegasse station. This ensures the station remains accessible throughout the entire construction period. Wiener Linien advises passengers to plan their individual route on wienmobil.at or in the WienMobil App and to allow a little more time for the journey.
