  • Pressekonferenz
    Pressekonferenz Vassilakou/Sima: Linienkreuz U2/U5 – Erstmaliger „Blick in den Untergrund“ 28. April 2016, Steinsaal 2, Rathaus Mit: Öffi-Stadträtin Ulli Sima Verkehrsstadträtin Maria Vassilakou Wien wächst – die Öffis wachsen mit! Im Jahr 2030 werden über zwei Millionen Menschen in unserer Stadt wohnen. Um mit diesem Wachstum Schritt zu halten, muss auch das Öffi-Angebot ausgebaut und verbessert werden. Nach großen Stadtentwicklungsprojekten, wie die U2-Verlängerung nach aspern Seestadt, erfolgt mit dem Linienkreuz U2/U5 ein wichtiger Lückenschluss im innerstädtischen U-Bahn-Netz. Damit kann Wien weiter wachsen und Fahrgäste werden auch zu Stoßzeiten genug Platz haben. Jeder dritte Fahrgast der Wiener Linien ist derzeit im Einzugsbereich von 13A, 43,6, U6 und U3 unterwegs. Netzanalysen und Variantenuntersuchungen haben ergeben, dass mit der Realisierung des Linienkreuzes U2/U5 gerade diese Linien bestmöglich entlastet werden. Mehrere Hunderttausend Fahrgäste werden durch neue, direkte Verbindungen oder die Entlastung auf den Parallelrouten und Umsteigeknoten tagtäglich vom Linienkreuz U2/U5 profitieren. Durch die neuen U-Bahn-Verbindungen und Umsteigeknoten werden sich die Fahrgäste gleichmäßiger im Netz verteilen. Zahlen & Fakten im Überblick Streckenführung und weitere Vorgangsweise › Der Bau des Linienkreuzes wird in zwei Baustufen erfolgen. Die U5 schafft eine Verbindung vom 17. Bezirk bis in die Innenstadt zum Karlsplatz. Die U2 wird vom Rathaus bis zum Matzleinsdorfer Platz und in der letzten Ausbaustufe bis zum Wienerberg führen. › In der ersten Baustufe wird die U2 vom Schottentor über Rathaus in Richtung 7., 6. und 5. Bezirk bis Matzleinsdorfer Platz verlängert. Die neue U5 wird im ersten Schritt vom Rathaus zur neuen Station Frankhplatz/Altes AKH gebaut. Sie übernimmt die Bestandsstrecke der U2 vom Rathaus zum Karlsplatz.
