Berlin S-Bahn Prepares for Major Service Disruptions Starting April 11

Track maintenance and construction projects will close key routes, with replacement buses and alternative transit options in place to assist passengers.

Overview

  • The S-Bahn route between Ostbahnhof and Alexanderplatz will close for 11 days starting Friday, April 11, affecting lines S3, S5, S7, S9, and partially S75.
  • Replacement buses will operate on the affected route, running every 7-8 minutes during peak hours and less frequently during off-peak times.
  • Passengers are encouraged to use alternative transit options, including U-Bahn line 5 and regional trains, to bypass the closure.
  • Additional construction between Erkner and Rahnsdorf will begin April 11, with replacement buses running until May 5, while a separate S5 closure between Strausberg Nord and Strausberg is set to last until April 25.
  • Passengers using replacement buses must purchase tickets in advance, as onboard ticket sales will not be available.
