Overview

• The mid-March discovery of structural cracks led to the closure and demolition of the Ringbahn and Westend bridges on Berlin's A100 motorway.
• Bus routes diverted around the demolition site are experiencing delays of up to 30 minutes, particularly on Königin-Elisabeth-Straße and Messedamm.
• The removal of the S-Bahnhof Westend stop has reduced delays on the M45 bus line to approximately 10 minutes.
• A proposal by the Berlin S-Bahn to protect bus lanes with bollards was not adopted, leaving buses vulnerable to congestion caused by turning vehicles.
• Reconstruction of the demolished bridges is planned as a multi-year project, with no immediate resolution to the traffic disruptions in sight.
