S -Bahn Berlin: Ringbahn interrupted - construction work leads to restrictions
The Berlin Ringbahn will be interrupted next Sunday from 1:30 a.m. to Monday morning for the same time. This affects lines S41, S42, S45 and S46. The affected section of the route extends between Hermannstrasse and Halensee in the western part of Berlin. The interruption is due to construction work on a track, cables and drainage.
For passengers, replacement traffic was set up by buses in order to keep the impairments as low as possible. The S-Bahn Berlin regrets the inconvenience and asks for understanding for the necessary work.
On the rest of the ring railway, a 10-minute cycle is usually offered, so that despite the interruption, passengers do not have to do without public transport.
The implementation of the construction work on a Sunday is a deliberately chosen time to ensure the lowest possible impairment for commuters and passengers. The work on tracks, cables and drainage is necessary to ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the S-Bahn Berlin.
The S-Bahn Berlin regularly informs about the current state of construction work and replacement traffic on its social media channels. Passengers can find current information on Twitter under the hashtag #s41, #s42, #s45, #s46. In addition, a telephone hotline is available for further information.
The S-Bahn Berlin and the executing construction companies assure that all efforts are made in order to complete the construction work on time and to resume regular S-Bahn traffic as quickly as possible. Passengers are asked to apologize for the circumstances and to switch to the replacement means of transport.
The interruption of the ring railway is an important measure to maintain the infrastructure of the S-Bahn Berlin in the long term and to continue to offer passengers reliable and secure local transport in the future. The construction work is a necessary step to meet the increasing requirements of the S-Bahn network.
