The Hamburg Elbtunnel is closed until Sunday morning at 7 o'clock. The complete closure between the Hamburg-Heimfeld and Volkspark crossroads had begun around 22:00, police reported on Saturday night.
The reason is the preparatory work for the extension of the A7 motorway south of the six to eight lane tunnel. The display of the signals and the tunnel control system must be adapted to the new traffic management at the construction site.
In Hamburg, the bridges of the Elbe are an alternative for motorists. However, according to the competent authority, long distance traffic should bypbad the Elbtunnel on a large scale. The recommended diversion route is between the Horster triangle south of Hamburg and the Neumünster-Süd junction via the A1, A21 and B205.
A complete closure of the Elbe tunnel is very unusual. Since the opening of the building in 1975, the road tunnel has been closed only once, according to the traffic authority. It was around the turn of the millennium when a new computer was installed in the control center of the fourth tunnel tube. Exactly, this computer must now be replaced.
