# Vienna's Salztorbrücke to Close for Cars Nov 10

September 25, 2026 at 09:59 AM

> Vienna will close the Salztorbrücke to motor traffic on November 10 ahead of a planned demolition and complete reconstruction in 2028.

Starting November 10, the **Salztorbrücke** in **Vienna** will be closed to all cars and trucks. The bridge, which crosses the **Danube Canal** to connect the first and second districts between Salztorgasse and Hollandstraße, will remain open for pedestrians and buses.

The **MA 29** bridge department, led by **Wolfgang Strenn**, manages this prestressed concrete structure. Opened in 1961, the bridge stands at a site with history dating to the 19th century, following a previous crossing destroyed by German troops back in 1945.

This closure marks a significant shift for local traffic as the city prepares for future infrastructure changes. The current Salztorbrücke is scheduled to be demolished and completely rebuilt starting in 2028 to ensure long-term safety and connectivity.
