The city of Berlin is planning a new high-speed bicycle path between the districts of Honow in the east and Spandau in the west, passing through the city centre. It is expected to be completed by 2030, with an estimated end-to-end travel time of two-and-a-half hours.

This expressway will actually connect two routes, an "eastern" one from Honow to the Tiergarten station and a "western" one from the station to Spandau.
