Berlin U8: MONTACTIONS affects local transport

According to a report by www.t-online.de , the Berlin U8 will be closed for almost a month between the train stations Osloer Strasse and Alexanderplatz. The construction work that causes this block serves the basic renewal of a track connection between the Voltastraße and Bernauer Straße train stations.

This block will undoubtedly have a significant impact on all public transport in Berlin. Passengers who normally take the U8 will have to switch to other lines, which could lead to increased utilization and longer waiting times in other parts of the subway network. In addition, replacement traffic with buses between Osloer Straße and Alexanderplatz is set up, which could also have an impact on road traffic in these areas.

The Berlin transport companies point out that construction work should improve the flexibility of the subway operation in the long term, but in the meantime the restrictions for passengers are inevitable. It is important that the Berliners find out about alternative transport options in good time and, if necessary, plan more time for their daily paths. As www.t-online.de , the construction work is expected to continue until December 17th.
