Major Construction Work Disrupts Berlin Hauptbahnhof Operations

Two-month project will limit service on lower-level tracks, with full closures planned for March and April to improve train punctuality.

The lower level of Berlin Hauptbahnhof will be partially closed for two months, reducing available tracks from eight to four until April 22, 2025.
Full closures of the lower-level tracks are scheduled from March 21–24 and April 18–22, impacting long-distance and regional train services.
Long-distance trains will be rerouted to other stations in Berlin during full closures, while S-Bahn and upper-level services remain unaffected.
The construction involves adding six new switches and two signals to enhance train flexibility and punctuality on the north-south corridor.
Berlin Hauptbahnhof serves 190,000 daily passengers and is the third-busiest station in the city, with no disruptions expected for S-Bahn services.
