S-Bahn chaos in Berlin: Massive construction work ensure traffic disorders!

S-Bahnhof Schöneweide, Berlin, Deutschland - A look at the S-Bahn landscape in Berlin reveals that it could become a little more turbulent for the next few weeks. [Berlin Live] (https://www.berlin-live.de/berlin/ververkehr/sbahn-berlin-eretverkehr-schoeneweide-gruenau-gruenau-s46-s85-s9-verkehr- ID468267.HTML) reports that extensive construction work will take place in the area of ​​the S-Bahn station Schönewide. These measures include the construction of a new electronic signal box, which will soon also bring more security and efficiency. For passengers, however, this means temporary restrictions on train traffic.

During this time, the lines S45, S46, S8, S85 and S9 will be affected. In particular, the connection between Schöneweide and Grünau/Grünbergallee is completely interrupted, which should be a real challenge for commuters and travelers. To cushion the failure, replacement traffic was set up by bus.

Details on replacement traffic

The replacement bus line for the S46 runs between Schöneweide and Grünau with the following stops:

• Sterndamm (S-Bahnhof Schöneweide)
• Wagner-Régeny-Allee (Johannisthal)
• Rudower Chaussee (Adlershof)
• Richterstrasse (Grünau)

A similar regulation applies to line S9, whereby it also stops at the Ewaldstrasse and Altglienicke stops. Passengers are cordially invited to find out about routes in the S-Bahn app or on notices in advance. It is also important that tickets have to be bought before starting driving because they are not available on the bus.

further construction work in August

But that's not all: S-Bahn Berlin has also announced further construction and timetable changes for the next few months. For example, there will be tunnel and track work between 18 and 21 July, which could also cause restrictions. Lines such as the S25 and the S41 are particularly affected, in which replacement buses are also used. In some cases, the clock offer is also adjusted at short notice.

In order to make the situation as pleasant as possible for passengers, the VBB on regularly obtain current information on the timetables. A good hand when planning trips is now particularly in demand to avoid unnecessary delays.

With these extensive work and the associated restrictions, those responsible aim to improve the infrastructure, which, however, have to take a detour for some time. Stay informed and hopefully will soon enjoy a more smooth S-Bahn experience in Berlin!
