traffic infrastructure and mobility behavior

The construction site and the associated restrictions are part of a major discussion about the transport infrastructure in Germany.

It offers a comprehensive analysis of investments in the infrastructure, traffic volume and performance as well as data on accidents and emissions in order to understand the mobility behavior of Germans more precisely. In this context, the improvement of the Wuhlheide bridge is seen as a step towards more efficient transport links in Berlin.

Overall, a significant relief for vehicle traffic in the region until June 6, 2025, which depends heavily on the construction progress and the weather conditions.
