A7 full closure: Planned nights full of traffic jams and diversions expected!
The A7 motorway is facing major changes this summer. In July and August, the route will be completely closed on both sides due to necessary maintenance work, which will likely lead to longer travel times for many road users. How Eimsbüttel News reported, the closure affects the area between Schnelsen and the northwest motorway triangle.
The first full closure will come into force on July 18th, lasting from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. on July 21st. During these approximately 55 hours, traffic will remain completely suspended in both directions. Another night-time closure is also planned: On August 16th, from 10 p.m. to August 17th, 10 a.m., there will be further restrictions in order to dismantle the old IT equipment in the Schnelsen tunnel. A large-scale fire drill will take place during this time, which could cause additional traffic disruptions.

The diversion measures are well thought out and offer alternatives for bypassing the closed areas. Road users coming from the south are routed via the A1, A21 and B205. Drivers from the north should use the B205 and the A21 and A1 from Neumünster Süd. In particular, traffic from Hamburg city center is routed at the northwest motorway triangle to the Eidelstedt junction and from there redirected to the Schnelsen-Nord junction.
