Between the terrace and the underground railway station also a pedestrian bridge over the underground line and the Wien river flowing in parallel was constructed, which connects the districts Margareten and Mariahilf. The new bridge is designed as a steel-arch bridge with reinforced concrete traffic areas, with a length of approximately 33 metres and a width of five metres.

Furthermore nesting boxes were set up where sparrows and swifts could settle according to the experts of MA 22 (department for environmental protection).
