Refurbishment work: Tunnel Eidelstedt closed from 5 to August 9th

The upcoming renovation work on the Tunnel Eidelstedt stands for an important measure to ensure long -term ensuring the transport infrastructure in Hamburg. This work is not only important for the tunnel itself, but also for residents and road users who rely on this important traffic route every day.

important traffic measures in August

In the night of Monday, August 5th to Friday, August 9, the Tunnel Eidelstedt is closed to renovation work in the direction of travel. Work starts regularly at 9:30 p.m. and last until 5:00 a.m. the following morning. This measure was announced by Autobahn Nord in a press release and is intended to improve the condition of the tunnel.

diversions for road users

However, the blocking means that drivers who want to turn north from the A7 to the A23 have to accept a detour. Coming south, Autobahn Nord recommends using the A7 to the Schnelsen descent. There it continues on the A7 towards Hanover/Bremen/Husum/Heide. The road users finally reach the A23.

For those who arrive from the city center, the alternative is recommended via the B4. The Kieler Straße and Holsteiner Chaussee should be used to the A23 in Hamburg-Eidelstedt. In addition, from the Stellingen motorway exit, a reduction in demand (U35) is signposted via the B4 in order to make the flow of traffic as smooth as possible despite the closures.

background of the renovation work

It is worth noting that concrete damage was found in previous work in July 2024 that requested an urgent maintenance of the tunnel. Taking this proactive measure to ensure the safety and functionality of the infrastructure is essential to avoid future problems.

common responsibility for our infrastructure

This renovation work not only illustrates the occasional need for maintenance of traffic infrastructures, but also the responsibility of all road users to keep the streets in good condition. The resulting diversions can be temporarily uncomfortable, but in the long term ensure that the tunnel Eidelstedt can be used safely and efficiently.
