Vienna's new Central Railway Station, including the new BahnhofCity mall, was opened on 10 October 2014. Construction works to replace the old Südbahnhof with a new Central Railway Station and to build a new residential area lasted until 2015.
The new ÖBB Group headquarters is located at the southern forecourt of the train station.
The new main station was constructed on the site between the former south and east stations and Südtiroler Platz. The new main station was constructed as a through station. For the first time, trains arrive in the capital from all directions to destinations in all directions.
In the new central through station, travellers and commuters benefit from direct and rapid connections and can to change trains quickly and conveniently on the same platform. Apart from rapid transit and local train lines, it is served by underground U1 as well as by two bus lines (13A and 69A) and three tram lines (18, D and O). Distances for passengers changing between lines are short; the new station is several hundred metres closer to Südtiroler Platz underground station than the former building, and there is an underground walkway connecting the two hubs. It only takes five minutes to go from Vienna Central Station to the city centre (St. Stephen's Square station) by underground, and a mere 12 minutest to reach Vienna International Centre (Kaisermühlen-VIC). U1 trains come in at short intervals, averaging three to four minutes during daytime on weekdays.
Car park and bicycle park, car ports for the disabled, taxi stands, et cetera.
Around the station, an entirely new urban district is gradually emerging on the former ÖBB site right now. Altogether, approximately 5,000 apartments are being built to accommodate 13,000 residents, offices for 20,000 employees and space for hotels, shops, services and caterering operations. The municipal development area is framed by the Wiedner Gürtel to the north, Arsenalstraße to the east as well as Sonnwendgasse and Gudrunstraße to the south and west.
A supporting frame for the new bridge was put into place via an assembly rail track and subsequently lifted onto the bridge pier.
