Construction phase 1
The U55 Shuttle Line from Hauptbahnhof to the Brandenburg Gate
When the construction site has been completely set up, excavation will be carried out above the groundwater level. The passageway to the urban rail system (S-Bahn) will also be cut off at this time.
The foyer of the S-Bahn station and the south-western exit in front of the Adlon Hotel will remain accessible throughout the entire construction period. The site will be covered to prevent dust pollution.
Only conventional construction techniques can be used here, namely an open excavation pit protected by fencing.
