Tobias Michnik and Leander Nowack recall in their book „Übergangsräume. Die Bushaltestellen auf der Berliner Stadtautobahn“ (published by Urbanophil, ISBN:978-3982-0586-3-4), they recall a forgotten chapter in Berlin's transportation history. The exceedingly apt title „Übergangsräume" (Transitional Spaces) sheds light on 13 former highway bus stops that have long since ceased operation. They have been dismantled, destroyed or converted. The BETON Berlin project used one area of this former infrastructure for its first exhibition in Berlin's public space.

The Swedish artist Ida Lennartsson, who lives in Berlin and was invited for this location, occupied the clearly neglected space under the Joachim Tiburtius Bridge for her work "Avatar Blues." She used a step landing as a stage and a metal girder from the highway as a pedestal.
