A7 in Hamburg: Finally eight -track - more space for traffic!
A7 in Hamburg: Finally eight -track - more space for traffic!
Hamburg, Deutschland - As of today, the A7 in southern Hamburg has finally been carefully passable! The newly released section between the Hamburg-Hhafen motorway and the Hamburg-Heimfeld junction extends over just under four kilometers and now offers four lanes in each direction. The construction period was about four and a half years, a project that the Deges Hamburg boss, Sebastian Haß, proudly referred to on time. This is accompanied by the fact that the A7, as one of the most important north-south axles in Germany, should be relieved considerably in order to be able to flow better and at the same time reduce traffic restrictions.
The release of this route was not without challenges. Before the opening, there was long traffic jams due to a weekend closure between Hamburg-Stellingen and Hamburg-Heimfeld. This was lifted on Sunday evening and the new lanes are now released for traffic. The expansion stipulates that the A7 will consistently provide eight lanes to the state border of Schleswig-Holstein, which could significantly improve the traffic situation. The planning also includes other sections of the route, the completion of which is expected for the end of next year.
challenges in construction
An important step in this construction project is the new construction of the HH-HH-HHACH motorway, which is also in full swing. Deges reports that the steel structure for the new "high -flyer" - a connection ramp from the A26 to the A7 - has already been completed. The concrete of the caps and the road structure are currently being carried out. However, a complete demarcation and new marking of the South directional lane is required for the full release of the eight -streak A7, which results in the corresponding closures.
From Friday, June 13th, a full closure of the A7 in the South directional lane between Hamburg-Stellingen and Hamburg-Heimfeld, which should last until Monday, June 16. This measure is important to implement the last mentioned marking work. In the diversion phase, road users are to be shown the WEG via existing network influence and LED signings in order to keep the load in the inner-city area low.
was it with the expansion?
These measures to improve the A7 also give an outlook on future projects in the region. In particular, the eight-striking expansion of the A1 between the Hamburg-Südost motorway triangle and the Hamburg-Harburg junction is planned. This section of the route, which belongs to the third longest motorway in Germany, also shows the need to respond to increasing traffic demand - an increase to up to 160,000 vehicles is forecast until 2030.
The expansion is part of the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 and is classified as a "urgent need". Future work not only includes the expansion of the lanes, but also measures for noise protection, which should benefit in particular for calm living and working.
Overall, the expansion of the A7 and the adjoining projects are seen as a big step in the right direction to sustainably improve traffic in the Hamburg metropolitan region. It is only to be hoped that drivers can soon benefit from the advantages of these measures!
