A7 in Hamburg: locking up prematurely - traffic rolls again!

A7 in Hamburg: locking up prematurely - traffic rolls again!

In Hamburg, drivers can now take a deep breath: the full closure of the A7, which started on Friday evening at 10 p.m., was lifted prematurely. Originally, the blocking was planned at 5 a.m. until Monday morning, but Autobahn GmbH of the North branch, announced that the traffic between the Hamburg-Stellingen and Hamburg-Heim-Heimfeld junctions will flow again on Sunday evening at 10:30 p.m. This is good news for all commuters and travelers who had to expect traffic jams and diversions during this time. According to tag24.de it was one of the most busy sections of our Hanseatic city.

The construction work that aims at the expansion of the A7 to eight lanes were carried out by German unity for Fernstrasse Planning and -Bau GmbH (Deges). The new Hamburg-Hhafen motorway junction will be a central transport connection in the south of Hamburg. The construction work also included extensive lane markings between the house break and the home field. The Köhlbrandbrücke was also affected during the blocking, since recurring main bridge tests were necessary. So not only on the A7, but also in the inner -city environment there was an increased traffic volume, which caused many drivers to mislead.

traffic forecasts and diversions

• Elbe tunnel: Not passable during the block.
• Large and heavy load transport: no passage in both directions.
• public transport: bus lines 150, 250 and 611 redirected via the Elbe bridges.

The Autobahn GmbH noticed a tense traffic situation throughout Hamburg and advised all drivers: inside, to find out in time. The current traffic information has been available, for example, on ADAC Maps, the real-time traffic flow and short-term disorders. In such cases, it is a must, at the latest when the non -ending traffic jams trigger nervousness in such cases.

With the early termination of the current blocking, however, some normality returns to the streets. Let us hope that the remaining construction work will run more smoothly and that traffic in and around Hamburg will soon flow undisturbed again.
