Large change: U3 underground in Hamburg becomes a bus star!

From Monday, April 28th to Thursday, May 8, 2025, passengers on the western section of Hamburg subway line 3 must expect significant changes in traffic. During this period there is a replacement traffic by bus in both directions between the Kellinghusenstrasse and Schlump stops, since the subways cannot run due to construction work.

The travel time can be extended by up to 20 minutes. The Hochbahn points out that the passengers should pay attention to notices and announcements at the affected stops in order to find out more about the changes. In addition, information is available online at HVV.de or in the HVV app.

construction work to renew the infrastructure

The reason for the changeover is comprehensive construction work on the route network. Specifically, 1,200 meters of tracks, 600 meters of electricity rails and a total of 800 thresholds are renewed. The aim of the measures is to maintain the high security standard of the Hamburg U-Bahn network and to improve the infrastructure, such as ndr.de and eimsbuetteler-nachrichten.de reported.
