Berlin’s Duncker Bridge to Close April 1 for Demolition and Rebuild

Officials cite corrosion-prone prestressed steel where rust and tension can cause sudden fractures.

Overview

  • The bridge will be fully closed so crews can remove power, water, and telecom lines before dismantling the structure.
  • The shutdown covers Dunckerstraße between Ahlbecker Straße and Kanzowstraße, with a signed detour for drivers.
  • Nearby schools, public buildings, homes, and the Dunckerclub will remain reachable, and trains on the tracks below are expected to keep running.
  • Pedestrians and cyclists are projected to use the new span in the third quarter of 2027, with full completion planned for the third quarter of 2028.
  • The replacement is part of a wider push to renew Ringbahn road crossings, with four of seven bridges in Prenzlauer Berg slated for rebuild.
