Bridge Closures Next Weekend: A7 and Köhlbrand Bridges to Be Completely Shut Down
On the weekend of сентября 27-29, 2025, brace yourself for some major road closures in Hamburg, Germany! The "Altona-Tunnel" project's A7 highway will be completely shut down between Heimfeld and Stellingen interchanges for 3 days due to the installation of a temporary bridge for a pedestrian and cycle path connection.
The wrong side of the Elbtunnel in Heimfeld, Hausbruch, and Waltershof interchanges will be shut down from Friday at 9 PM to set up the closure. But that's not all - the Kohlbrand Bridge will also undergo maintenance work during that weekend. As a result, the bridge will be out of action from Friday, 9 PM, until Monday, 5 AM. Fear not, a detour route will be clearly marked for your convenience.
Just remember, major construction projects like these can lead to some serious traffic jams, but with no official traffic advisories for that specific September weekend, keep an eye out for updates closer to the date. Checking official Hamburg city transport or construction websites will provide you with the most up-to-date information on traffic disruptions. So, buckle up, folks! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!
In light of the upcoming "Altona-Tunnel" project, other vital roadways in Hamburg might also experience disruptions. For instance, the Kohlbrand Bridge, despite being in a different sector such as transportation, will undergo maintenance work during the same weekend. Furthermore, financial implications may arise from such extensive closures, impacting industries like tourism and supply chain logistics.
