Demolition Progresses on Berlin's A100 Ringbahn and Westend Bridges

Controlled dismantling of the aging structures continues with advanced safety measures, while plans for rapid replacement are underway.

Demolition of the Ringbahn and Westend bridges on Berlin's A100 is proceeding as planned, with significant progress reported on both structures.
Specialized equipment, including 'Knabberer' devices and engineered fallbeds, is being used to ensure controlled dismantling and protect nearby S-Bahn infrastructure.
The Ringbahn bridge demolition, which began Saturday, is on track to be completed by Thursday, with debris processing and recycling ongoing.
Approximately 12,400 tonnes of construction debris are being systematically crushed, sorted, and recycled to support sustainable urban renewal efforts.
Public livestreams provide real-time updates on the demolition, while planning for rapid bridge replacement aims to minimize disruptions to S-Bahn operations.
