Overview

• The A100 Ringbahn bridge in Berlin remains closed due to severe structural damage, with demolition scheduled to begin in April 2025.
• The closure has caused major traffic disruptions, with long daily jams reported at the Funkturm interchange, a critical transit hub for 230,000 vehicles daily.
• The BUND environmental group has proposed reducing lanes in the bridge's reconstruction, citing 'traffic evaporation' as a rationale for long-term traffic reduction.
• S-Bahn services between Halensee and Westend stations, suspended since mid-March, are expected to resume before the bridge reconstruction is completed.
• Authorities have not yet provided a timeline for the completion of the bridge's reconstruction and reopening to traffic.
