![]() ![]() Since the start of the mega-cycle path offensive last year, we have invested more than ever in the cycling infrastructure. Last year, authorities announced a 14-kilometre-long cycling highway with an additional bridge - a portion set to be complete in April.Īuthorities plan to add one section with 710 metres to the 3.5-metre-wide route from Wagramer Straße to Industriestraße, as well as 150 trees and another spanning 935 metres on Rennbahnweg and in the Ludwig-Reindl-Gass.Ĭity Councilor for Mobility Ulli Sima was quoted in a press statement saying: Plans call for additional greening and traffic calming along the way, making the city more sustainable and climate-friendly.Īnother highlight is the bike highway expansion in Donaustadt – the portion of Vienna located on the far side of the Danube. The route will pass through the 4 th and 10 th districts and allow an unbroken link from the city to the Federal State of Lower Austria. ![]() The project will close a gap between Argentinierstraße and Herndlgasse, creating a 9-kilometre-long, 3.9-kilometre-wide, two-way cycling path leading out of the city. The absolute highlight of this year’s cycling plan is the new Bicycle Highway South (Radhighway Süd). That figure is only set to grow, as local authorities have announced a total of 100 million euros in funding for bike infrastructure until the year 2025.
