Construction work for Opera Route Nord: closures on Sömmeringstraße until July 12, 2024

The work on the North Opera Route in Berlin leads to temporary disabilities and closures for car traffic on Sömmeringstraße until July 12, 2024. Currently working on the first construction phase, which requires a full closure of Sömmeringstrasse in the direction of travel between the Nordhauser and Quedlinburger Straße. During this time, cycling is diverted via the sidewalk. In the second construction phase there is road construction work in the area of ​​the wheel lane north of the street "Am Spreebord" in the direction of travel north. Holding zones are set up and the bicycle traffic is also directed to the sidewalk.

The construction work is coordinated with the district road traffic authority and the Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and Environment Berlin. The North Opera Route is a project that is intended to improve the bicycle infrastructure in Berlin and encompass various measures to promote cycling.

Sömmeringstraße is an important traffic artery in Berlin, which is used by many commuters and residents. The temporary disabilities and blocks can lead to traffic problems and delays, especially for drivers who have to look for alternative routes.

The North Opera Route is part of a larger initiative to promote cycling in the city. These measures should help to make traffic in Berlin more environmentally friendly and sustainable by encouraging more people to switch to the bike.

Here is a table with further information about the Nord Opera Route:

| Construction phase | Period | Impairments |
| ———————————— | —————————— |
| 1 | Until July 8, 2024 | Full closure in the direction of travel south |
| 2 | Until July 12, 2024 | Road construction work and sidewalk forwarding |

It is recommended to use alternative means of transport such as buses and trains to avoid traffic jams and delays. Further information on the North Opera Route and the planned measures are available on the official website of the city of Berlin.
