Overview

• Demolition of the A100 Ringbahn Bridge at Dreieck Funkturm began on April 11, 2025, after officials confirmed significant structural flaws.
• A critical crack in a load-bearing component, first identified in March, expanded significantly, prompting the urgent closure and demolition of the bridge.
• The bridge, built in 1963 and used by approximately 230,000 vehicles daily, has been fully shut down since mid-March, causing major traffic disruptions.
• Berlin officials, led by Verkehrssenatorin Ute Bonde, expedited permits and implemented 24/7 demolition work to minimize delays and disruptions.
• Public transit on the affected S-Bahn route is scheduled to resume on April 28, with plans for a new replacement bridge under development.
