Nussdorf node

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two of the four Danube Canal bridges at the Nussdorf junction

The Nussdorf node is a four-part bridge over the Danube Canal, built in 1981 and extending over a 500 m stretch of river, near the districts of Nussdorf and Heiligenstadt in the north of Vienna . It connects important traffic flows for motorized individual traffic and connects directly to the western end of the north bridge, which has been extended to suit the motorway . In addition to the roadway, there are also public footpaths on individual bridges, some of which can only be reached via staircases. The node is in districts 19 and 20 .

Traffic relations

The node links (clockwise) the following relations:

Of the four bridges over the Danube Canal, the connection between the north bridge and Nussdorfer Lände was given the name Nussdorfer Brücke . The Nussdorfer Steg (19th / 20th district) is located between the four bridges for pedestrians . From a structural point of view, the bridges are particularly interesting because of their often extreme arch positions with spans of up to 70 meters. Without the Nussdorfer Bridge, the junction has a traffic area of ​​around 54,000 square meters.

Surroundings

The junction frames the Shipbuilding Research Institute on the Danube Canal and is located in the west a short distance from the Wien-Heiligenstadt train station of the Franz-Josefs-Bahn (with S 40), the suburban line (S 45) and the Vienna U-Bahn ( U 4 ) . To the east, the Brigittenau freight station through which the S45 runs, connects to the Donauuferbahn , to the south the access to the north-west station, which is only used for freight traffic .

Mainly for reasons of space, the former federal road 14 leading to Klosterneuburg ( called Klosterneuburger Strasse under road construction law, a term that is not used by the general public in Vienna due to the risk of confusion with a Brigittenauer Hauptstrasse) north of the Nussdorf junction in an elevated position just a few meters past the Nussdorf Weir , which is a listed building whose overall impression suffers severely.
