Nestroy has a square——named after him in Vienna, as well as the station Nestroyplatz on Line 1 of the Vienna U-Bahn, which opened in 1979. When the Reichsbrücke had to be rebuilt after its collapse in 1976, the tender was won by a consortium named "Project Johann Nestroy". The official name of the newly built bridge is probably "Johann Nestroy Brücke","25 Jahre Reichsbrücke", ORF (9 July 2005) "Wiener Reichsbrücke: Einsturz jährt sich zum 30. Mal", "Kleine Zeitung" (2 August 2007) </ref> but that name doesn't seem to have any currency.
