Traffic Restricted on Berlin's Funkturm Autobahn Bridge Due to Structural Crack
A crack in the bridge structure has led to the closure of multiple lanes, with further assessments scheduled to determine the extent of the issue.
- The A100 autobahn near Berlin's Funkturm triangle is currently reduced to one lane in the northbound direction due to a structural crack in the bridge.
- The crack, which has been monitored for some time, recently expanded, prompting immediate safety measures, according to officials from Autobahn GmbH's Northeast division.
- The closure began Thursday afternoon, with additional restrictions on the A115 connection to the A100 heading towards Wedding.
- Engineers will extract core samples from the bridge on Friday to assess the damage and determine the necessary repairs, with results expected later in the day.
- The affected bridge typically handles over 200,000 vehicles daily, and drivers are advised to seek alternative routes as disruptions may extend through the weekend.
