Berlin's A100: The federal government prefers Spree Bridge for the 17th stage
Berlin's A100: Plans for a Bridge Over the Spree Gain Momentum
Berlin's Governing Mayor, Kai Wegner (CDU), has shown his support for the expansion of the A100 project, which includes the construction of a bridge over the Spree in the 17th section of the highway.
According to the latest updates, a bridge at the Spree crossing would be the preferred solution, providing an opportunity to redirect traffic from city streets to the highway. This decision was made due to the fact that a tunnel under the Spree would not allow for an additional connection point at Ostkreuz.
The detailed planning for this bridge solution is expected to take approximately two more years. Currently, the A100 crosses the Spree via the Elsenbrücke, but a new bridge could be built there in the future.
Wegner sees the opening of the 16th section as progress, but not the end. He considers the extension of the A100 crucial for making Berlin's traffic future-proof. The Mayor also expressed his gratitude for the federal government's commitment to the 17th section of the project.
Despite the long planning and discussion phase, Berlin intends to work closely with the federal government on the project. No specific information is available yet about who will be responsible for planning the bridge construction or when the approval steps are expected to begin.
Wegner has made it clear that he views the expansion of the A100 as a significant step towards modernising Berlin's infrastructure and ensuring a smoother flow of traffic in the city. As the project progresses, more details are expected to emerge about the timeline, cost, and other aspects of the bridge construction over the Spree.
