Construction work on Friedrich-Engels-Straße Start: Traffic lasts!

Construction work on Friedrich-Engels-Straße Start: Traffic lasts!

The renovation work on Friedrich-Engels-Straße in the Rosenthal district began on September 23, 2025. This measure is of great importance, since Friedrich-Engels-Straße is a central traffic axis for the north of Berlin. District councilor for order and public space, Manuela Anders-Granitzki, was personally present to accompany the official start of construction on September 24, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. The work is necessary to ensure traffic safety, since the condition of the street urgently had to be improved, as [berlin.de] (https://www.berlin.de/ba-pankow/aktuelles/pressemaytreiungen/2025/Pressemage department. 1599774.php).

The renovation measures are expected to take 8 to 10 weeks and estimate with costs of around 614,000 euros. During this time, the street between Kastanienallee and the main street is locked. This will lead to considerable traffic disruptions, which causes residents and commuters to plan alternative routes. The construction work includes the asphalting of the road with large stone paving and the establishment of two provisional bus stops, since only a joint lane will be available for the direction of travel during the construction work, such as mein-berlin.net.

Traffic disabilities and infrastructure projects

The city of Berlin faces the great challenge of creating both living space and improving the existing infrastructure. There are several important construction projects in planning, including the Parkstadt Karlshorst residential project and the Liese residential building. In addition, the infrastructure project i2030 aims to expand the rail infrastructure in Berlin and Brandenburg in order to meet the growing mobility demand and to promote environmentally friendly traffic solutions.

The renovation work on Friedrich-Engels-Straße is part of a more comprehensive strategy that aims to increase the quality of life in Berlin. This year, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) will also renew their over 120 years old subway network, which can also lead to significant restrictions for passengers, such as rbb24.de reported.

In 2023, numerous construction work already led to closures in various subway lines, and further measures are planned in the coming years. From January 2025, construction work on lines U1, U3 and U4 on Nollendorfplatz should begin, while the U6 also has construction sites since the beginning of 2025. These extensive work make the need for temporary transport adjustments particularly clear.
