Overview

• The structurally compromised Ringbahnbrücke on Berlin's A100 remains closed, with demolition scheduled for April 2025.
• The closure has caused significant traffic disruptions, with daily congestion affecting the Autobahndreieck Funkturm and surrounding areas.
• Environmental group BUND has proposed a reduced-scale reconstruction, advocating for fewer lanes to encourage decreased car dependency.
• BUND cites the concept of 'traffic evaporation,' suggesting reduced road capacity could lead to long-term reductions in vehicle use.
• The timeline for the bridge's reconstruction and full reopening remains uncertain, with only the S-Bahn line underneath expected to resume operation after demolition.
