Hey there! The A100 leading towards Wedding has been turned into a hot mess thanks to the Ringbahn bridge's closure. If you're headed that way, buckle up - you're gonna need some extra time to navigate the detour routes. You can add around 20 to 30 minutes to your journey, especially during peak hours.
On a typical Friday morning, the Autobahndreieck Funkturm flows smoothly, but that's not likely to be the case now. Heading north could lead to significant disruptions, especially in the afternoon when the weekend-bound commuters and Berliners start rollin'.
The Ringbahn bridge has been closed since March 19 due to a substantial crack that's been growing larger by the day. The affected branch of the Autobahn GmbH confirms that they've been watching this crack for a while now. If you're driving near this area, try to steer clear of the interchange as much as possible. Around 200,000 vehicles rely on this bridge daily, so it's a pretty big deal.
The traffic information center advises that cars can use one lane on the opposite side of the A100, but larger trucks are out of luck with that arrangement. The congestion should ease up eventually, but it might take a few months until alternative plans for the bridge come to fruition.
Now, if you're curious, the temporary solution includes diverting trucks to nearby roads, and the plans for a permanent solution, be it a replacement or renovation, are currently under consideration. So, hold tight, Berliners - gridlock is the name of the game around the Funkturm Interchange for the time being.
