A7 in Hamburg: Eight stripes for traffic released from Monday!

Next Monday, an important section of the A7 between the Hamburg-Hauben motorway and the Hamburg-Heimfeld junction will be released after four and a half years of construction. With this completion, the A7, one of the most important north-south axles in Germany, is expanded to eight lanes. Specifically, this means four stripes per direction, which should significantly improve the flow of traffic, as Sebastian Haß, the Hamburg boss of the Deges, emphasizes. This measure is part of a comprehensive expansion, which also includes the other sections of the A7 to the state border of Schleswig-Holstein. Even if the A26-West expansion is completed later than planned, the A7 itself will be completely expanded by the end of next year.

To complete the last work, the section is closed from Friday at 10 p.m. to Monday at 5 a.m. During this time, numerous works, including medium-lane crossings and road construction and marking work, take place. The Deges announced that the connection ramp between the new A26 and the A7 has already been completed and the concrete of the caps and the road structure is currently being concrete. The traffic authorities also point out that diversions are signposted during the blocking in order to direct both passage and inner-city traffic flows.

final preparations

The A7 expansion is not just a project that affects Hamburg. It is part of the city's continuous traffic development planning, which deals with the repeatedly changing traffic needs and flows. The PU 2 presentation analyzes and evaluates relevant framework conditions for infrastructure development in Hamburg and ensures that future traffic flows are also taken into account. A central goal is to improve air quality and develop noise reduction strategies, which is closely linked to the city's entire traffic concept.

The closures and construction work also demand citizens: inside. Drastic traffic restrictions have to be accepted during the last work. The travel times of the bus lines 150, 250 and 611 are influenced, and large-scale and heavy-duty traffic have to avoid extensive by. However, improving traffic routing remains the main goal and will soon make mobility in Hamburg a noticeably easier.

warnings regarding the diversions and upcoming closures can be found on the usual channels. Drivers should inform themselves in good time and, if necessary, adapt their travel schedule to avoid the traffic disruptions in the best possible way. In the overall view, the expansion of the A7 not only represents progress for the transport infrastructure, but is also an important step towards a future -proof mobility in Hamburg.
