Total closure: Tiergarten tunnel closed as of Monday

The much frequented Tiergarten tunnel at Berlin's main train station will be closed for five days from Monday.

This was announced by the Senate Department for the Environment, Urban Mobility, Consumer Protection and Climate Action on Friday. The reason for the full closure is the modernization and replacement of the almost 20-year-old computer technology.
