Overview

• The reopening marks the end of a project begun in 2010 that renovated the U7 tunnel and rebuilt street surfaces to include wider sidewalks and dedicated bike lanes.
• New signal installations around Rathaus Neukölln restored two-way vehicular flow on one of the district’s main traffic arteries.
• The overhaul cost roughly €11 million, reflecting extra expenses to keep U-Bahn service running and avoid a traffic collapse.
• Crews will complete minor finishing tasks in the coming weeks before a public celebration on September 29.
• Further tunnel refurbishments and street rebuilding on the Weichselstraße–Hermannplatz corridor are scheduled to resume in 2027.
