tram lock after storm: BVG hires taxis

fallen trees and broken branches are the most obvious consequence of the hurricane thunderstorm, which swept across Berlin on Monday evening. But there are also consequences that catch the eye less, but bring serious cuts. In Pankow, the sub-rinse of a smaller road led to the interruption of tram traffic.

Specifically affected is a section of the line M1 in the area of ​​the Pastor-Niemöller-Platz, as the Berlin transport company (BVG) report on Twitter. In the area between the Pastor-Niemöller-Platz / Grabballee and the Schillerstrasse end stop, replacement traffic with taxis is to close the gap due to an accident. According to the report, both directions of the route in Niederschönhausen are affected.

Photos in the Facebook group "Pankow, our district" show a massive flooding of the tram line in the area of ​​the historic depot on the Nordend. The BVG is used as a turning honor and is therefore particularly important for the operation of the M1 line. From here, taxis should close the approximately two -kilometer network gap. Buses on line 107.

A state that could worst at worst. According to the traffic information center (VIZ), the sub -flusing of Schillerstrasse will lead to impairments for up to four weeks. In both directions, the road is fully blocked, while repairs are going on, it says.

A report from the Pankow district also suggests that this urban area was particularly badly affected by the thunderstorm. According to the deputy mayor Manuela Anders-Granitzki (CDU), visitors in parks are to exercise greatest caution. According to the green area office, damaged tree tops are a "great danger to the general public". Therefore, a warning was made on Tuesday before entering areas with a high trees.

All available service staff are currently in use to examine and remedy damage, reports the district. The damage balance sheet has not yet been determined. It will take several days to fix the coarsest traces of the storm and to end the acute danger situation.
