Stau-alarm in Hamburg: A7 closure ensures weekend chaos!

Stau-alarm in Hamburg: A7 closure ensures weekend chaos!

At the weekend, Hamburg is facing a strong construction site that will pose major challenges for road users on the A7. The reason is a full closure of the highway towards Hanover, which must take place on the Elbe tunnel due to necessary construction work. According to Image , the closure begins on Friday, June 13th, 10 p.m. and lasts until Monday, June 16, until 5 a.m. The section between Hamburg-Stellingen and Hamburg-Heimfeld is affected.

The construction work itself will take care of the new marking of the road between the Elbe tunnel and Heimfeld. As ADAC , several such full closures are planned for 2025. A regular rhythm of 55 hours is planned, which means that there will also be further closures in July, September and October. The current lock only affects the direction of travel, which is particularly important for commuters.

diversions and traffic forecasts

The national diversion is set up from Neumünster-Süd and leads via the B205, A21 and A1 on the cross bargteheide. This could lead to massive traffic jam problems, especially on the A1, where the Norderelbbrücke has been restricted for trucks since March. Travelers should be prepared for delays due to the redirections, as well as from the Autobahnbetrieb noted.

For everyone who wants to go to the city of Reisen or Hamburg Airport at the weekend, it is advisable to plan additional time or switch to public transport. These more precise traffic information can be called up via interactive dashboards that display current traffic jams and construction sites on German motorways.

outlook for other construction sites

The challenges on the A7 motorway are not only limited to the coming weekend. Further closures are already planned for the period from 4 to 7 July and on September 26th to 29th in order to install new traffic sign bridges and carry out the necessary software upgrades. This optimizes the A7, which is known to be the longest motorway in Germany, for a better traffic situation.

The commuters and travelers in Hamburg should therefore plan their routes well and keep the upcoming diversions in the back of their head. A good knack for the selection of the means of transport will certainly be helpful to avoid hours of traffic jams.
