The Rothneusiedl A 24 motorway connection bracket was a planned motorway in Austria . In Vienna it was supposed to create a connection between the Vienna Südosttangente (A 23) in the area of ​​the Hansson curve and the Vienna outer ring expressway (S1) in the area of Rothneusiedl . With rumored costs of over 100 million euros per kilometer, the A 24 was the most expensive Austrian motorway project. In May 2011 the project was deleted from the Federal Roads Act.

Planning status

On the initiative of the City of Vienna, the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology carried out a strategic review - Transport (SP-V) on the proposed network change (the planned motorway). In the environmental report on the strategic assessment - traffic, the City of Vienna examined the possible corridor variant. It ran along the Pottendorfer line , was 2.75 km long and would have cost 391.3 million euros. The A24 was hoped to have a bypass effect for the Inzersdorf junction ( A2 - A21 - S1 - B17 ), less contact with protected areas and opportunities for connection to public transport .

History and benefits

In the early plans of the high-level transport network in and around Vienna, a motorway ring around Vienna with some radial and diagonal streets was planned. Large parts of these plans were never implemented. In particular, the extension of the Vienna outer ring motorway A 21 to the east motorway A 4 and the routing of the south-east motorway A 3 to the Vienna south-east bypass A 23 were not (any more) built in the 20th century. One reason for this was the low traffic to and from the former Eastern Bloc . However, with the opening of the East , this situation has changed considerably.

Instead of an extension of the A 21, the Vienna outer ring expressway S 1 was built. In addition to bypassing Vienna, this expressway also acts as a distributor function for the southern part of Vienna. It is assumed that there will be additional traffic to and from Vienna via Laxenburger Strasse , Himberger Strasse and Simmeringer Hauptstrasse . The predicted positive economic development of the area along the S 1 will also bring additional traffic. That is why the City of Vienna wanted to create a high-level connection S1-A23 and thus bundle traffic. Thus, the Rothneusiedl motorway link should be an alternative to the abandoned planning of the inner A3.

In the 142nd session of the National Council on March 29, 2006, the A 24 was included in the Federal Roads Act. On April 21, 2006 the Federal Council also approved the inclusion of the motorway in the Federal Roads Act.

In 2007 the A 24 project was postponed indefinitely. At the presentation of the rail and road investment program on March 26, 2007, the then Austrian Federal Minister for Transport, Innovation and Technology , Werner Faymann , commented on the keyword A24 / Hanssonspange: “Here, 450 million euros were planned for a few kilometers. This project has to be postponed and rescheduled. "

On July 6, 2011, the National Council decided to delete the Rothneusiedl A 24 motorway link from the Federal Roads Act.
