Projekt U5
Projekt U5 is Berlin’s latest extension to the U-Bahn network.
In the excellent project description on this Internet, it is described as a Gap Closure.
The project “gap closure U5” connects the traditional line U5 from Hönow to Alexanderplatz with the U55 between Alexanderplatz and Brandenburger Tor. It includes the construction of a 2.2 kilometer tunnel stretch and three new underground stations: Rotes Rathaus, Museumsinsel and Unter den Linden.
It looks like it is about the same size of London’s Northern Line Extension.
- Berlin U5 Missing Gap – 3 stations – – 3.22 km.- €525 million
- Northern Line Extension – 2 stations – 2.2 km. – £560 million
Both projects are for completion in 2020.
The Berlin U5 seems to have better hoardings.
