U4 Landstraße Station Closed Towards Hütteldorf for Renovation
The Vienna U4 metro line is undergoing significant renovation work at Landstraße station, leading to temporary changes in service. Beginning today, trains traveling towards Hütteldorf will no longer stop at Landstraße station due to ongoing refurbishment of the platform infrastructure. This closure is part of a broader modernization project aimed at improving passenger safety and comfort on the U4 line.
The construction follows the completion of the initial phase, during which the platform serving trains bound for Heiligenstadt was closed for upgrades. With this phase finished, trains in the direction of Heiligenstadt are once again stopping at Landstraße station as usual. However, attention has now shifted to the opposite platform, impacting westbound U4 services for the coming weeks.
During the renovation period, commuters traveling towards Hütteldorf who wish to disembark at Landstraße station will need to adapt their routes. The recommended alternative is to continue traveling to Karlsplatz station, where passengers can switch to the train heading in the opposite direction without leaving the platform. This allows travelers to return eastbound and alight at Landstraße station as needed.
For those intending to board the U4 at Landstraße and head towards Hütteldorf, the advised approach is to first take a train in the direction of Heiligenstadt. Upon arriving at Schwedenplatz station, passengers can transfer to a westbound U4 train and continue their journey toward Hütteldorf.
The Vienna transport authority has communicated these changes to minimize inconvenience for daily commuters and visitors. Additional signage and staff are present at affected stations to assist with navigation and ensure passengers are well-informed about the temporary alterations.
This phase of construction is expected to last until early December, after which normal U4 operations will resume at Landstraße station in both directions. The comprehensive renovation project reflects Vienna's ongoing commitment to maintaining and modernizing its public transportation infrastructure, with the goal of enhancing reliability and accessibility for all users.
Passengers are encouraged to plan their journeys in advance and allow extra travel time during this period. The Vienna public transport authority provides real-time updates and further information on its official website and at stations across the network.
