Traffic chaos in Charlottenburg: S-Bahn set, change buses route!
On April 4, 2025, there were significant changes to S-Bahn traffic in Berlin, since the S-Bahn line between Halensee and Westend is interrupted due to construction work. As a result, the S-Bahn Berlin has set new routes for the replacement buses to minimize the effects on passengers. From this date, the replacement buses no longer drive west, but east of the ring railway over several stops, including Kurfürstendamm, Lewishamstrasse and Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße. The routes of the routes were introduced to avoid heavily loaded bypass routes and to better use the existing bus traces. This reports Viz Berlin .
The S-Bahn stations Westkreuz and Messe Nord/ZOB are no longer approached directly. However, the Westkreuz S-Bahn station remains accessible with lines S3, S5, S7 and S9 via S Charlottenburg. Alternatively, the S-Bahnhof Messe Nord/ZOB via BVG buses and the Kaiserdamm (U2) underground station is accessible. Passengers should prepare for the fact that replacement traffic also serves stops such as Adenauerplatz (U7) and the S-Bahn stations Charlottenburg and Westend.
Details on replacement traffic
The replacement traffic by bus between Halensee and Westend is carried out especially during the peak times during the week every 5 minutes. The following cycle times also apply:
| Tag | clock |
|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 4:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. in a 5-minute cycle |
| Saturday | 5:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. in a 5-minute cycle |
| Sunday | 7:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. in a 5-minute cycle |
| daily from 9:00 p.m. | 10-minute cycle until 1:30 a.m. |
| night traffic FR/SA and SA/SO | 1:30-5:00 a.m. in a 15-minute cycle |
The stops of the replacement traffic were chosen so that the accessibility is improved. These include the “S Halensee” stop and the “S Westend” stop. Minimum driving times are also guaranteed, since the new routes should save at least 10 minutes.
restoration and future plans
The dismantling of both bridges should be completed by April 25, 2025, whereby the track systems are also restored after the work has been completed. The restart of S-Bahn traffic is planned for April 28, 2025. During this time, passengers must expect interruptions and diversions. The S-Bahn Berlin points out that traffic-related influences can affect both clock and travel times.
