Berlin Central Station becomes the construction site: Massive restrictions from February!
The Berlin main station will become a construction site for two months from February 2025, and that has it all! According to Berlin Live , the tracks of the important north-south connection are partially blocked, which should significantly affect the more than 330,000 travelers who travel daily through this central junction. The reason for the radical measures is comprehensive construction work in which six new switches are installed and several tracks are replaced. Particularly explosive: On two long weekends, the traffic on the deep floor is completely set!

The closures are expected to begin on February 17th and end on April 22nd. In the first four weeks, the route tracks towards the Südkreuz are blocked for the conversion, followed by another 26 days for the work to the north. On the eventful weekend from March 21st to 24th, the entire underground station remains closed, and from April 18th to 22nd there is complete radio silence in the north-south tunnel, such as Tagesschau reported.
Despite these massive restrictions, the S-Bahn and regional trains are not threatened with any significant impairments on the light rail between the western and east. Which long-distance and regional trains are ultimately affected remains unclear with the railway traffic companies concerned. The already overloaded north-south train station will be better equipped with the new switches so that several trains can at the same time run in both directions, which ensures more flexibility in the driving. The infrastructure measures are not only urgently required, but also long overdue!| Details | |
