cars slowed down: Schönhauser Allee - this construction site surprises vacationers

The Schönhauser Allee in Prenzlauer Berg has developed into a narrow point in a very short time. But the reason for this is not in the construction work for the new bike paths, but in a construction site that is already opened, which is now expanding.

For the renovation of the Senefelder Square underground station, space is now needed, which extends to two lanes. A lane in the direction of Alexanderplatz and a lane towards the outskirts are now occupied by construction equipment. The traffic has to squeeze past the construction site on a remaining track. Although this needle leaver does not yet have a dramatic effect, since it is still on the summer vacation, but traffic problems can occur in full rush hour.

The Berlin transport information service reports that the BVG tunnel construction site will have an impact on car traffic for many months and years. Measures that affect the dilapidated subway station and the tunnel ceiling that soon exposed are planned by 2025. Local residents in the Kollwitzkiez and in the district on Teutoburger Platz will therefore no longer be progressed as quickly as usual.

With the new traffic routing, turning left into Schwedter Strasse from Schönhauser Allee from Torstraße is no longer possible. From Metzer Straße, also bending on the left to Schönhauser Allee is prohibited. This makes detours and traffic jams inevitable, depending on the destination and traffic volume.

The construction work at Senefelder Square underground station started in March, but also affect the surface. The tunnel runs under the medium strip of Schönhauser Allee, which leads to restrictions above the earth. Nevertheless, the transport companies confirm that the subway operation of the U2 line remains largely intact.

In addition, a second construction site on Schönhauser Allee will open in August. The Matthäi company from Lower Saxony, which has already been commissioned for the construction of the bike paths, will take care of this construction site.

The Schönhauser Allee therefore remains a zone of the construction sites that will continue to slow down traffic and drivers.
