Nightly Motorway Closures on A111 & A100: What Berlin Drivers Need to Know
Drivers in Berlin are advised to prepare for significant traffic disruptions over the coming nights, as sections of the A111 and A100 motorways will be closed for essential maintenance work. These closures will primarily affect late-night and early-morning commuters, extending travel times and requiring alternative routes. The Berlin Traffic Information Centre (VIZ) has released details to help motorists plan their journeys effectively.
A111 Closures: Tegel Airport Tunnel Maintenance
The A111 motorway will experience nightly closures until June 11th/12th. Each night, from 9 PM to 5 AM the following morning, the motorway will be completely shut down in both directions between the Am Festplatz and Seidelstraße junctions. This closure is necessary for maintenance work being carried out within the Tegel Airport Tunnel. Drivers should anticipate significant delays and use alternative routes during these hours.
A100 Closures: Hohenzollerndamm to Heckerdamm/Jakob-Kaiser-Platz
The A100 motorway will also be subject to extensive closures from the night of June 8th/9th until June 11th/12th. During this period, a complete closure in both directions will be in effect between the Hohenzollerndamm and Heckerdamm / Jakob-Kaiser-Platz junctions. The closures will take place nightly from 9 PM to 5 AM. Please note that the affected junctions will be closed earlier, starting from 8 PM.
The following junctions will be impacted by the A100 closures:
- AS Hohenzollerndamm
- AS Kurfürstendamm
- AS Messedamm
- AS Messedamm Süd
- AS Kaiserdamm-Süd
- AS Kaiserdamm
- AS Spandauer Damm
- AS Siemensdamm
- AS Heckerdamm

Motorists are strongly advised to check traffic updates before commencing their journeys and to consider public transport as an alternative during these periods. Although specific diversion routes have not been detailed, drivers should expect local diversions to be signposted.
Previous Closures on A113
It is worth noting that similar maintenance work was recently conducted on the A113, which saw nightly closures until June 4th/5th. This section was closed in both directions between the Späthstraße and Schönefeld-Nord junctions.
Tips for Drivers During Closures:
- Plan Ahead: Always check the latest traffic information from VIZ Berlin before you travel.
- Allow Extra Time: Expect longer travel times, especially if your route involves the affected motorways.
- Use Navigation Apps: Utilise GPS navigation systems that provide real-time traffic updates and suggest alternative routes.
- Consider Public Transport: For journeys within Berlin, public transport might offer a more reliable option during the closure periods.
- Avoid Peak Closure Times: If possible, adjust your travel schedule to avoid driving between 8 PM and 5 AM on the affected routes.
