Demolition of Berlin's A100 Bridges Progresses Despite Initial Delays

Specialized machinery and safety measures are ensuring a methodical dismantling process, with completion of the Ringbahnbrücke expected by Thursday.

The demolition of the Ringbahnbrücke and Westendbrücke on Berlin's A100 is advancing after a delayed start due to safety and technical adjustments.
Specialized equipment, including hydraulic tools and large breaking machinery, is being used to systematically dismantle the deteriorated bridges.
Protective measures, such as a sand cushion under the bridges, are safeguarding S-Bahn tracks, while debris is being sorted and fully recycled.
The Ringbahnbrücke's demolition is on track for completion by Thursday, with debris clearance scheduled by April 25 to enable S-Bahn service resumption on April 28.
Planning for replacement bridges is underway, prioritizing minimized construction time and reduced disruption to traffic and transit.
