Greifswalder Straße Outbound Remains Closed After Water Main Break as Freeze Stalls Road Repairs

Crews report the leak is fixed, with subzero temperatures preventing reconstruction.

Overview

  • The outbound lanes of Greifswalder Straße at Straße am Friedrichshain remain fully closed as excavation and safety work continue.
  • Berliner Wasserbetriebe say a rupture on a 25‑centimeter supply line from 1968 undercut the roadway, and a large section of asphalt was opened for repairs.
  • The utility cannot give a reopening date because cold weather prevents restoring the undercut carriageway and repaving; sidewalks remain open for pedestrians.
  • BVG reports tram M4 and bus 142 are rerouted and bus 200 skips Mollstraße/Otto‑Braun‑Straße, with Monday service further curtailed by a BVG warning strike.
  • Traffic restrictions include a closure on Straße am Friedrichshain near No. 35 and no access from Greifswalder or Otto‑Braun‑Straße into Straße am Friedrichshain or Friedenstraße, while nearby water service remains secured.
