Stauchaos on the A7: urgent blocking due to concrete damage!

The holiday season is just around the corner, and travel also begins north. But there is a bitter restriction for drivers who are on the A7. Due to discovered concrete damage on a bridge, the highway is closed to the north until at least in the middle of next week. Experts expect the blocking to continue until July 16 or 17. This message has followed the [NDR] and makes it clear that traffic jams have to be expected, especially on weekends.

The blocking concerns the area of the Horster triangle, as the [ADAC] reports. While traffic towards the south can flow freely, travelers have to accept diversions in a north direction. The diversion for vehicles that drive towards Flensburg leads over the parallel lane of the A1 and follows the signage towards A39 (Lüneburg/Seevetal-Maschen) in order to finally get back to the A7 via the Maschener Kreuz. The damage examinations on the affected bridge are currently underway, although the highway can only be released again if resilient test results are available.

In addition to the construction sites and the associated traffic disruptions, the meeting of the interior ministers of the Nordländer in Rostock will also take place in the coming week. This could result in additional traffic measures that could tighten any traffic jams. It remains to be seen how the organizers redirect traffic on these days.

The long A7 motorway, which extends over a proud 962 kilometers, not only forms the most important north-south connection, but is also a central component of vacation-related travel. In real time, the [ADAC Maps] offer information about the flow of traffic and short -term disorders, which helps travelers to better adapt to the situation.

What else can there be?

Despite these inconveniences, there are bright spots: Even if the message about the concrete damage is a setback for progress in the area of green hydrogen, this does not constitute the end of the effort. Rather, it shows that the infrastructure has to set clear priorities.

The coming days will show how the traffic situation develops. The disorder may provide a little more patience and planning among travelers who are going to the northern regions of Germany. It is to be hoped that everyone will surely get to their goal!
