Berlin opens A100 highway extension despite protests

Berlin's A100 highway extension opens today, adding 3.2 kilometers and costing 721 million Euros, amidst protests. The new section connects Neukölln and Treptow, aiming to improve eastern Berlin's access to the highway network and relieve city streets. Critics, however, fear increased traffic and pollution. Protests are planned for the opening, with groups demanding an end to further highway expansion. Supporters, including the Berlin Senate and business groups, argue it's necessary for the growing city's infrastructure.
