After almost a week, the blocking of the Autobahn 115 (Avus) in Berlin's Grunewald will be lifted on Wednesday evening.

The operations management decided to release the Avus and Havelchaussee again from 6 p.m., the Berlin fire brigade said on Twitter.

However, the entrance and exit to and from Hüttenweg will remain closed in both directions.

Significant success was achieved in the extinguishing and cooling work.

The A115 is about 500 meters from the police blast site.

Since the fire broke out in Grunewald just under a week ago, the autobahn, which is important for Berlin, has been closed for around eleven kilometers between the Zehlendorf junction and the Funkturm autobahn triangle.
