Berlin Allocates €150 Million to Replace Structurally Compromised A100 Bridge
The federal government has confirmed funding and plans for a steering committee to expedite the replacement of the heavily trafficked bridge, which remains closed due to safety concerns.
- The A100 bridge in Berlin's Funkturm interchange has been closed since mid-March due to a spreading structural crack that poses significant safety risks.
- The federal government has committed €150 million to fund the bridge's replacement, ensuring resources are available to begin the project promptly.
- A steering committee led by the federal transport ministry will oversee the planning and construction of the new bridge.
- Traffic redirection measures remain in place, while S-Bahn services under the bridge have been suspended, causing ongoing disruptions for commuters and local traffic.
- Authorities are assessing whether the bridge should be immediately demolished or temporarily stabilized to maintain safety during the reconstruction planning process.
