Wastewater canal in Steglitz will be renewed until December - detours!

From June 17, 2025, Steglitz-Zehlendorf will begin in Berlin with the renewal of the dirty water canal and the sewage pressure line (ADL). According to berlin.de , the construction measures extend over the western side of the Teltow Canal and affects the route between Bäkeestrasse (Bäkebrücke) and Königsberger Strasse (Emil-Schulz-Brücke). The background of these maintenance work is considerable damage to the dirty water channel, which significantly impair functionality.

The primary objective of these measures is to avoid further environmental damage. During the construction period, a partial closure of Bäkestrasse is necessary to create space for material stores, floor bearings and corresponding transports. The passage traffic for cars over the staple bridge will not be possible during the work, which is why detour routes are signposted.

foot and bike traffic secured

The northern sidewalk on Bäkestrasse remains accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. In addition, the Eduard Spranger-promenade towards Königsberger Straße can continue to be used. However, access for operational and rescue vehicles remains guaranteed. If you have any questions, those affected can contact Berliner Wasserbetriebe directly via their Contact form

In addition, an approximately 100 -year -old wastewater pressure line DN 1000 is renovated in the Hindenburgdamm. This work takes place in several construction projects between Wolfensteindamm and Königsberger Straße. The renewal is carried out in coordination with Vattenfall Wärme Berlin AG, the Tiefbauamt Steglitz-Zehlendorf and the Berlin electricity network. In the meantime, various sections of these construction projects have already been completed in the implementation or even, such as the press release from Berliner Wasserbetriebe.de confirmed.

long -term investments in the infrastructure

The comprehensive construction work is part of a long -term investment focus of the Berlin water operations. As highlighted on berlin.de , about 98 % of the plots of land in the settlement areas of the capital are connected to the public sewage system. This shows the need and the importance of regular maintenance and renewal of sewage systems to protect the environment. In areas that are not accessed through the sewage system, waste water must be collected in special wastewater collection systems and disposed of with the help of suitable absorption companies.

The announced measures will ensure that wastewater services in Berlin can continue to be kept in accordance with the high environmental standards. Mayor and the responsible authorities ask all residents and road users for understanding the necessary restriction during the construction work.
