Berlin's Ringbahnbrücke Demolition Underway as Bad Schandau Celebrates Bridge Reopening

The Ringbahnbrücke's demolition begins following safety concerns, while the Bad Schandauer Elbbrücke reopens with weight restrictions after 155 days of closure.

Demolition of Berlin's Ringbahnbrücke on the A100 has started and will continue until April 25, with S-Bahn services expected to resume by April 28.
A tender process for the new Ringbahnbrücke, including temporary and permanent replacements, has officially begun, prioritizing minimal disruption and fast construction timelines.
The Ringbahnbrücke was closed in March due to a rapidly expanding crack in a load-bearing component, impacting traffic and S-Bahn operations significantly.
The Bad Schandauer Elbbrücke reopened on April 10 for vehicles up to 7.5 tons, pedestrians, and cyclists, following a successful load-bearing test with no structural issues detected.
Heavier vehicles and buses must continue to use detours around the Bad Schandauer Elbbrücke, as authorities evaluate options for long-term solutions, including a potential replacement or Behelfsbrücke.
