Berlin’s M20 Tram Line to Tegel Scheduled for 2034
Transit operator BVG has outlined the route and stops for a new streetcar connection to the former airport grounds. Compared with earlier plans, the start of service has slipped by four years.
Berlin plans to extend its M20 tram line to the former Tegel airport site, with construction set to begin in 2034. The new 7.1 kilometer route will connect Jungfernheide station to Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, featuring ten new stops. The project aims to serve the Urban Tech Republic, a research and business hub, and an upcoming residential area.
The tram line would utilize shared lanes with buses, potentially utilizing some sidewalks. Preliminary planning is scheduled for April 2027 to June 2028, followed by draft planning through the end of 2029. The approval process could start in April 2030 and finalize in April 2032, with detailed planning completion by October 2032.
Construction would then commence, potentially taking trams to the site by 2034. However, earlier tram projects in Berlin have faced delays, with one extension now expected to open in the mid-2030s instead of 2028.
