A7 expansion: Eight-stiff release on Monday for Hamburg-Heimfeld!

From July 7, 2025, traffic can look forward to a new section of the A 7. A piece of almost 3.7 kilometers long between the future Hamburg-Hallen motorway and the Hamburg-Heimfeld junction will then be released. The renovation measures have now been completed and the A 7 is expanded here by six to eight lanes in order to sustainably improve the traffic situation on this important north-south axis in Germany. The expansion is not only an investment in the future, but should also significantly increase performance and traffic safety, as the deges

A look at the construction work shows that the work took around four and a half years. Sebastian Haß, the Deges Hamburg boss, emphasizes the positive effect on the flow of traffic. With the new eight -stiff structure, driving on the A 7 becomes not only more smooth, but also safer. But before the time has come, last work must be done between July 4 and 7. During this time, the A 7 between the Hamburg-Stellingen and Hamburg-Heim-Heimfeld junctions remains completely closed. These include the construction of the medium strip crossing as well as various drainage, road construction and marking work, reports ndr .

important investments and improvements

When asked about the question of financing, it should be noted that the federal government has invested around 250 million euros in this expansion. This clearly shows how important the A 7 is considered in Germany as a central lifeline. The expansion includes not only the extension of the road, but also measures to reduce noise, such as the construction of noise protection systems and new rainwear basins. The aim is to ensure a continuous eight-stiff leadership to the state border of Schleswig-Holstein, as listed on the website of the Autobahn GmbH

In the coming years, it is also planned to expand the further course of the A 7 by the end of 2026. In the meantime, the expansion of the A 26-West is expected to be completed a year later than planned due to poor soil conditions. Traffic disruptions can therefore not be ruled out in the future, but the city of Hamburg adheres to the vision of optimizing the transport infrastructure for all citizens.
