Complete closure of the A7: Mega construction site in Hamburg-Steinwerder from Friday!
In order to make traffic in Hamburg smoother, extensive construction work will be carried out from Friday, June 13, 2025 to Monday, June 16, 2025. During this time, the federal motorway (BAB) 7 will be completely closed in the southbound direction between the HH-Stellingen (26) and HH-Heimfeld (32) junctions. The Hamburg police recommend that all drivers avoid the affected area. The ramps at the Stellingen, Volkspark, Othmarschen and Waltershof junctions will also be affected from 9 p.m. and will also be closed.
Particular attention is paid to the Köhlbrand Bridge in Hamburg-Steinwerder and -Waltershof, which will also not be passable during the closure. These measures are necessary to create a new motorway junction and to connect the BAB 26 to the BAB 7. This will result in an expansion to a total of eight lanes in the Heimfeld area, accompanied by important marking work that will increase traffic flow in the future, such as news.de reported.
Fast diversions are required
Transport Senator Anjes Tjarks emphasizes the importance of the Köhlbrand Bridge, which not only serves as a central artery for heavy goods traffic, but also contributes to the efficiency of the Port of Hamburg. Since it was upgraded to a federal highway on February 1, 2021, the importance of the bridge has increased even further hafen-hamburg.de underlined. The expansion allows the federal government to contribute to the costs, which makes future developments easier.
The Köhlbrand crossing: An essential construction project
The Köhlbrand Bridge will continue to play its key role in the future. The Port of Hamburg depends on an efficient connection to the hinterland in order to reliably manage the flow of goods. The logistics and production locations in the port require efficient road connections in order to meet the high demands of international trade. Possible disruptions in the transport network should be compensated more effectively through the planned redundancy between the A26 motorway and a new Köhlbrand crossing Hamburg Port Authority points out.
The new construction of the Köhlbrand Bridge, which is urgently needed due to the need for maintenance until 2030, also underlines the city of Hamburg's long-term planning in terms of transport infrastructure. It is therefore important that current work is carried out quickly and efficiently in order to meet future requirements.
