U5 Frankhplatz
Vienna's first U5 station
The Frankhplatz station will be Vienna's first U5 station. In the first construction phase, the U5 will run to Frankhplatz station after branching off from the existing U2 tunnels at Rathaus station and being extended under LandesgerichtsstraĂźe into the ninth district. In the second expansion phase, the line will be extended to Hernals.
Altes AKH will be connected to the underground railway; tram lines 43, 44, 37, 38, 40, 41 and 42 will be directly accessible
The station is accessible from all sides via four entrances. There is an entrance directly at Frankhplatz, which connects the Alte AKH directly to the underground network. From here you can then change directly to tram lines 43 and 44. From the SchwarzspanierstraĂźe exit, it is only approx. 250 metres to tram lines 37, 38, 40, 41 and 42.
Milestones:
- 2022: The underground outer walls of the station are completed.
- From 2023, most of the construction work will take place underground.
- 2026: The U5 goes into operation.
In the second expansion phase, the U5 will be extended to Hernals via the Arne-Karlsson-Park and AKH stations. It will then be possible to quickly change to all underground lines in Vienna via the U5.
