Berlin's Ringbahnbrücke Closure Eases Traffic Chaos as Temporary Lane Construction Begins

Traffic conditions improve after severe disruptions caused by the bridge closure and a public transport strike, with authorities working on targeted solutions for affected groups.

The Ringbahnbrücke on the A100 was fully closed on Wednesday due to a worsening structural crack, leading to significant traffic disruptions.
Thursday saw severe congestion as the bridge closure coincided with a BVG public transport strike, forcing many to rely on cars.
Traffic flow improved significantly on Friday, with remote work and reduced travel demand contributing to the stabilization.
Construction is underway to open a temporary northbound lane on the A100 by Monday to alleviate ongoing disruptions.
The Handwerkskammer Berlin has called for special regulations to assist craftsmen struggling to navigate the affected areas.
