Visit to bid in Berlin: Massive traffic restrictions threaten!
The visit of US President Joe Biden in Berlin on Thursday evening brings massive traffic restrictions. From noon, Berliners should prepare for closures, especially in the city center around the government district, the Bellevue Castle and Potsdamer Platz. For this, security measures are in full swing, whereby residents can only get into the closed areas with an identity card, while public meetings are prohibited. According to reports, biden will spend the night in the Ritz-Carlton-Hotel on Potsdamer Platz and is one of the politicians with the highest security level worldwide.
The restrictions also concern public local and long-distance transport: S-Bahn lines such as the S45 and S26 are completely canceled, others only run to a limited extent. Regional trains are also affected because important train routes lead past the Bellevue Castle, where bidges are received. The Berlin police will announce further details by Thursday. According to current information, driving the Spree near the Federal Chancellery will no longer be possible. For travelers it is advisable to plan alternative routes and means of transport in order to escape long traffic jams and delays.
