Tangentiale Verbindung Ost

The East Tangential Link - in German Tangentiale Verbindung Ost (TVO) - is a road project connecting the Eastern boroughs of Berlin, Germany.

The historic plan showed a link running from the Northern Outer Orbital along the Märkische Allee crossing the Wuhlheide forest to Köpenick.

In 2007 action groups formed that campaign for an earlier completion thereby removing the traffic that currently runs along the two lane main streets of Biesdorf, Kaulsdorf, Mahlsdorf (-dorf means "village") which are otherwise quiet residential settlements.

[4] The argument goes along the same line as the conservatives party has expressed in that the mere existence of a direct connection is a fundament of economic growth of Marzahn-Hellersdorf.

In the Southern section the new expressway will run on the Eastern side of the rail tracks - north of the Wuhlheide station will it have its only exits to the business park of Biesdorf to the East and to the Waldow Avenue of Karlshorst to the West.

Planning and construction are supposed to be worked on swiftly to allow the section to be finished when the reconstruction of the railway hub near Wuhlheide station will start.

[5] The regional planning of Marzahn-Hellersdorf expected shortly thereafter (in 2013) that construction works on the remaining section will start in 2016 with an estimate of the total costs of about 90 million Euro.

The Senate is favouring a four-lane road that runs completely on the Eastern side of the rail tracks with at least six additional exits with most of them being at-grade.
