A crack in the Ringbahn Bridge at the Funkturm interchange has led to significant traffic restrictions and ongoing safety inspections.
- Traffic on the A100 highway near Berlin's Funkturm interchange is restricted to a single lane due to a crack in the Ringbahn Bridge.
- The crack, which has been monitored for some time, recently worsened, prompting authorities to enforce the lane reduction on Thursday afternoon.
- The bridge, used by over 200,000 vehicles daily, is undergoing detailed safety inspections, including core sampling, to assess its condition.
- Drivers heading towards Wedding are experiencing delays of up to 30 minutes, with additional congestion caused by the closure of the A115 connection to the A100.
- Authorities recommend avoiding the Funkturm area while the extent of the restrictions remains uncertain, potentially lasting through the weekend.
