A24 construction site: Traffic in front of Hamburg will only be stopped from October 2nd!
The traffic situation on the A24 towards Hamburg is currently a topic of discussion among commuters and drivers in northern Germany. How NDR reported that the closure of the highway has been delayed due to extensive construction work. The new start date for the maintenance measures is now October 2, 2025.
The construction work will extend over around ten kilometers, directly in front of the Schleswig-Holstein state border. The road will be completely closed and traffic will be temporarily diverted to the opposite lane. The main aim of this measure is to renew the concrete roadway, which will be replaced by an asphalt surface layer. The reason for this necessary work is the deterioration in the condition of the road as a result of an alkali-silica-acid reaction (AKR), which has damaged the material.
Traffic burden for commuters
The A24 is an important traffic artery for commuters between Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Hamburg. Due to the eight-month closure of the Berlin-Hamburg railway line, which lasts until the end of April 2026, many drivers have switched to cars, as replacement buses take longer to cover the route. The ongoing construction work will not only affect the motorway traffic situation, but also commuters who have to switch from the train to the car and suffer from the traffic density.
The speed between Zarrentin and Gallin has already been reduced to ensure safety on this already busy route. Also verkehrslage.de provides information on the current situation, without acute reports of other types of danger in this area. Traffic jams, accidents or even obstacles represent additional risks that should always be kept in mind on this important route.
A look at the mobility of the future
The construction work on the A24 also sheds light on the important issues surrounding mobility and road infrastructure. The ADAC addresses the effects of mobility on the climate, environment and security. The aim is to achieve networked and barrier-free mobility in order to ultimately improve traffic in rural areas.
In summary, it can be seen that the upcoming work on the A24 brings both challenges and opportunities for the traffic structure and commuters in northern Germany. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether the renewed roads will be able to meet the demands of the times in the future.
