Abstract
AbstractVienna is not only a growing city but also one with a high quality of life. One reason for this is the availability of good public transport services, the heart of which is the subway system, which has been steadily extended for 40 years. In order to relieve Line U6 and provide better conditions for changing trains, an underground route will be constructed for Line 2 in the next few years through the densely built‐up 19th century part of the city starting from Rathaus station and running to Matzleinsdorfer Platz. Most of the running tunnels will be bored with an EPB machine while the station tunnels, crossovers and cross passages will be excavated conventionally using the New Austrian Tunnelling Method. Most of the tunnels pass through Miocene silt. In addition, a section with driverless operation and platform doors is planned for the construction of the U5 in order to gain experience for future extensions.
