U3 underground extension: Dispute over Mega construction site in Zehlendorf!

The excitement topic of the week in Berlin is the planned mini extension of the U3 underground line from Krumme Lanke to the Mexicoplatz in Zehlendorf. According to the BZ it is a mere 700 meter long extension, which costs 103 million euros. The aim is to connect the subway directly to the S-Bahn line S1, which is intended to benefit about 12,000 passengers every day, who currently have to change the bus to get to the S-Bahn. But that will not happen without dark sides - the residents worry about massive traffic restrictions during the five -year construction period from 2025 to 2030.

The BVG organized an information event in the Emmaus church community on Thursday to bring affected residents closer to the details of the project. It was explained that the U3 extension is not realized with a tunnel drill, but in an open construction. This means that the Argentine avenue must be completely blocked depending on the construction phase. 176 street trees are also felled, but then 228 new trees are to be planted. In particular, the closure of the road under the S-Bahn bridge for 15 months causes resentment among drivers who have to switch to detours.
