Traffic chaos in Hamburg: A7 closed during Ed Sheeran and Schlagermove!
This weekend in Hamburg is all about music and partying - but at the same time there is a threat of massive traffic chaos. A full closure of Autobahn 7 will begin on Friday evening, July 4th, and will last until 5 a.m. Monday morning. This measure affects the section between Hamburg-Stellingen and Hamburg-Heimfeld in both directions and is necessary due to the construction of the new tunnel control center and the installation of traffic sign gantries. Loud NDR The Elbe Tunnel will also be affected.
Especially at this moment, when everyone is talking about the traffic turnaround, the closure is met with a greatly increased volume of traffic. Hamburg tourists and locals alike should be prepared for a turbulent journey, as Ed Sheeran and Schlagermove continue to increase the traffic density parallel to the construction sites. Ed Sheeran will perform at the Volksparkstadion on July 4th, 5th and 6th, where a total of around 150,000 fans are expected. Also mo-po reports on the parallel events that will transform the city into a true festival mile.
Detours and travel recommendations
The transport company advises drivers to take various diversions: from the south via the Horster triangle to the A1 and a detour via the B205 back to the A7. Anyone setting off from the north will also be redirected via the B205 from Neumünster-Süd. Inner-city diversions are also signposted to keep delays to a minimum.
The organizers even recommend not using your car: using public transport is the wiser choice. The S-Bahn lines S3 and S5 to the Stellingen stop and the bus line 22 to Hellgrundweg are the best options to get to the stadium. The FKP Scorpio Group will also announce a solution for arrival and departure problems in the coming week.
A celebration for the masses
On Saturday, the hit move will create a high atmosphere from 3 p.m. and will move from Heiligengeistfeld along several streets back to its origins with around 400,000 expected revelers. It should also be noted that on the same day a caravan of 50 trucks will roll through the city center from 12 p.m. The roads along this route will be closed from around 12pm, which will further increase traffic volumes.
In addition, the Glacischaussee will be completely closed from Friday evening at 7 p.m. to Sunday morning at 7 a.m. Anyone planning to drive into the city should definitely get started in good time to avoid the traffic challenges of the holiday season in Lower Saxony and Bremen, which start on Thursday, and the other federal states, which follow on Friday.
To get clarity about all closures and diversions, we recommend visiting the websites of the relevant organizers and the Hamburg traffic authorities, who provide regularly updated information. The challenge of overcoming traffic madness could prove to be exciting for everyone involved - in the spirit of “have fun partying and keep your nerves while driving”.
