New two-way cycle paths and greenery
Since May 2024, construction work has been underway on Floridsdorfer Hauptstrasse and Prager Strasse in the 21st district to create two-way cycle paths. Micro open spaces, new green spaces and drinking hydrants will be created and a total of 71 new trees that will improve the microclimate will be planted. To increase traffic safety, pavement extensions will be made at all intersections. The final construction phase begins on September 30th.
Traffic measures, construction phase 3 (September 30 to December 13, 2024)
Floridsdorfer Hauptstraße will be a provisional one-way route from Matthäus-Jiszda-Straße to and towards Leopold-Ferstl-Gasse. The diversion in the direction of the city leads via Wolfsschanzengasse, Pichelwangergasse and Jedleseer Straße.
The bus stop “Matthäus-Jiszda-Straße” (direction out of town) will be temporarily relocated to Floridsdorfer Hauptstraße in front of house number 28 for the duration of construction.

Vienna’s big cycle path offensive is in full swing
The big Vienna cycle path offensive is still in full swing! The Progress Coalition will invest at least 100 million euros in expanding the cycle path infrastructure in the city of two million by 2025 and will add around 20 kilometers per year in the main cycle network alone. In 2023, a record sum of 35 million euros was invested, plus measures at district level. The intensive efforts are paying off: the number of cyclists is constantly increasing. The proportion of journeys made by bike rose to 10% last year (in 2019 it was still 7%), as the 2023 modal split survey shows. The counting points also show a clear picture: the number of cyclists rose from 9 million to almost 12 million from 2020 to 2023.
