Construction work on the A111: traffic jams and closures during the autumn holidays!

In the coming days, drivers in Berlin will have to prepare for some restrictions on the A111 motorway. The construction work, which is taking place in the north of Berlin during the autumn holidays, begins on Sunday, October 19th. From 9 p.m., the A111 between Schulzendorfer Straße and Waidmannsluster Damm will be completely closed for eight hours. The closure will last until 5am on Monday 20 October. Many commuters have to expect traffic jams during rush hour, especially in the Heiligensee and Tegel area, as only one lane in the Beyschlagsiedlung tunnel will be opened in both directions from October 20th [maz-online.de].

This construction work not only includes the installation of new escape doors in the Beyschlagsiedlung tunnel and in the Tegel Forestry Office, but also further full closures for the dismantling of the construction site. A lockdown will come into force again on Thursday, October 23rd, from 9 p.m. to Friday, October 24th, at 5 a.m. A second construction phase starts on Sunday, October 26th, during which the route will be completely closed again from 9 p.m. to Monday, October 27th at 5 a.m. Which will ultimately last until Thursday, October 30th, when only one lane in each direction will be available for the final work in the Forestry Office tunnel until then.

Construction work and diversions

Road traffic authorities have already announced that the A100 motorway will also be affected by temporary closures. Maintenance and repair work is planned between Kurfürstendamm and Spandauer Damm, which will also lead to diversions. This work is carried out mainly at night, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., and may affect some entrances and exits, as the Berliner Rundfunk-24 editorial team highlights rbb24.de.

In the current discussions about the traffic situation in the capital, electronic appointment booking with the Berlin authorities is also an issue. Citizens can book their appointments online for both urgent and non-urgent matters. This approach makes it easier to access services because the appointments are free and can be used in all citizens' offices in Berlin. For vibrant districts like Tegel, it can be helpful to regularly check for free appointments in order to avoid delays, as stated on the Berliner Service website at service.berlin.de.

Conclusion and outlook

With the announced construction work and the associated traffic restrictions, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop for Berlin commuters. If you use the A111 motorway or other affected routes, you should keep an eye on ongoing changes and prepare for alternative routes if necessary. A good hand at planning trips could be very important in the next few weeks!
