Trams May Resume Operation on Wuhlheide-Bridge Starting Tomorrow - Trams expected to resume services tomorrow
Berlin's Wuhlheide Bridge, located in the district of Oberschöneweide, has been closed due to severe structural issues since last Monday. The closure has affected not only tram traffic but also emergency services such as the police and firefighters.
Reports indicate that tram service and the passage of emergency vehicles underneath the bridge may resume as early as Thursday. This development could alleviate the current disruptions in tram traffic and the deployment of emergency services.
Regular inspections by the transport authority revealed progressive cracks along the entire length of the bridge, prompting its closure to traffic starting late April. The demolition work began over the weekend.
In the interim, tram services have been operating independently of the main network. The disrupted traffic has caused significant congestion on nearby roads and railways.
If the plans materialize, emerging on Thursday, emergency services should regain access to Treskowallee or Edisonstraße, while the isolated tram operation should cease. Safety personnel will reportedly open barriers for emergency situations and allow vehicles to transit the track connection.
The Berlin Transport Authority plans to initiate a shuttle service Thursday morning and transition to regular operations by Saturday after conducting test runs.
The full demolition of the 245-meter-long structure is expected to be completed by June 27. Future plans for reconstruction have not been detailed yet.
The Berlin Transport Authority, adhering to its employment and community policies, is preparing to resume tram service and emergency vehicle passage under the repaired Wuhlheide Bridge, previously closed due to structural issues. This transition, possible by Thursday, could potentially alleviate the disrupted tram traffic and deployment of emergency services, which in turn impacts the transportation industry and even finance, considering the congestion on nearby roads and railways. Emerging industry-related complications might be resolved with the reopening of Treskowallee or Edisonstraße for emergency services.
