Gridlock on Berlin’s New A100 Stretch Prompts Pledge of Quick Fixes

Officials say real traffic diverged from their models prompting quick adjustments.

Overview

  • Berlin Transport Senator Ute Bonde acknowledged the new A100 section is not performing as planned following its recent opening.
  • She said short‑term changes to traffic management will be implemented very soon, without detailing specific measures.
  • Authorities are continuously observing conditions near Treptower Park and the Elsenbrücke to evaluate further steps.
  • Recurring queues and confusing situations around the Treptow on‑ and off‑ramps have raised safety concerns for pedestrians.
  • The 16th section runs from Dreieck Neukölln to the Treptow exit and opened after more than a decade of contentious construction, with the Elsenbrücke work zone already straining traffic in the area.
