1 closure 30 April to 4 September

2 Making the fit for the future The green underground line has connected Hütteldorf in the west and Heiligenstadt in the north of Vienna for almost 35 years. For the first time since being commissioned, the is being interrupted for several months due to modernisation work. In spring 2016, the modernisation project will enter its most intensive phase: the tracks and platforms between Hütteldorf and Schönbrunn will be completely renovated. OVERVIEW OF CLOSURES 30 April to 1 July 2016: Hütteldorf Hietzing closed: During this construction phase, the will run between Hietzing and Heiligenstadt 2 July to 4 September 2016: Hütteldorf Schönbrunn closed: At the start of the school holidays, the will run between Schönbrunn and Heiligenstadt Wiener Linien/ Johannes Zinner Replacement services during the shutdown WHEN THE IS NOT OPERATING, THE FOLLOWING ALTERNATIVE LINES WILL STILL BE IN SERVICE: Trams: Lines, and 58 run very close and at times parallel to the tracks. Just a few stations on these tramlines are all that separate you from the main underground transit stations. Depending on the line, more and longer units than usual will be in service, meaning that these will arrive at shorter intervals and offer more space. In order to carry out this extensive work in just four months, the will only operate between Heiligenstadt and Hietzing from 30 April until 1 July. Hietzing will then be the temporary terminus. From 2 July to 4 September, work will continue beyond Hietzing and the Schönbrunn station will temporarily become the new terminus. Renewing the infrastructure will lay the foundations for a more reliable. The entire route served by this underground line will be back in service just in time for the start of the school year on 5 September. Express (Schnellbahn) or regional trains: After a short ride on the S45, S50 and S80, or on regional trains, it is possible to transfer to the underground network at Ottakring, Heiligenstadt, Handelskai, Westbahnhof, Meidling (train station) or at the central train station (Hauptbahnhof). The S45 departs around every 10 minutes travelling to the north of Vienna. For ÖBB passengers travelling by express train (Schnellbahn) or regional train from Hütteldorf, it is better not to transfer at Hütteldorf, but to continue on towards the city centre and debark at one of the later alternative transfer hubs. It only takes about 7 minutes, for example, from Hütteldorf to Westbahnhof via the REX or S50 services.

It is also possible to circumvent the closed stations using this service. However, the punctuality of this service depends on other road users, whereas trams and fast trains run independently of road traffic. This service is a possible alternative, especially for local residents near the closed stations Ober and Unter and Braunschweiggasse. As of 2 July 2016, the second phase of the construction work will start and the closures will be extended beyond Schönbrunn. Schönbrunn station will then tempo rarily become the terminus. From 2 July, bus lines 56A and 56B will operate via Hietzing to Schönbrunn, so that a direct connection to the will still be possible. Please plan for around an additional 15 minutes on your journey time!
