Full closure of the A7: Construction work on the new bridge in Bordesholm

Full closure of the A7: Construction work on the new bridge in Bordesholm

The planned new construction of a bridge near Bordesholm ensures extensive detours and traffic disruptions on the A7 motorway. This affects not only commuters, but also the entire region, which is dependent on smooth traffic routing. The construction work extends over several nights in August 2024, and the directions between Warder and the Bordesholm motorway triangle are particularly affected.

Details about the full closures

The construction work for the installation of the steel beams for the new bridge, which is to be completed by 2025, leads to selected temporary full closures of the A7. It should be emphasized that the highway is blocked in both directions in four nights, from August 13th to August 16. This begins in the evening and ends the next morning.

• 13.8., 7 p.m. - 14.8., 6 a.m.
• 14.8., 7 p.m. - August 15, 6 a.m.
• August 15, 7 p.m. - August 16, 6 a.m.
• 16.8., 7 p.m. - August 17, 6 a.m.

additional disabilities in one direction

In addition, further restrictions are provided in one direction in the days after the full closures. These restrictions affect the direction of travel north and south, and here too the drivers have to expect nightly closures:

• 19.8., 7 p.m. - 20.8., 6 a.m. to the north
• 20.8., 7 p.m. - 21.8., 6 a.m. to the north
• 21.8., 7 p.m. - August 22nd, 6 a.m. to the south
• August 22, 7 p.m. - 23.8., 6 a.m. towards the south

importance of the diversions

Specific diversions have been set up for the adapted traffic routing to minimize traffic jams and waiting times. Vehicles that drive north are led to the A215 in front of the Bordesholm motorway triangle and diverted by a series of descents. The same detour for vehicles towards the south is also set up on the A210. This may be confusing for getting used to, but it is crucial to follow the routes proposed by the authorities in order to get to the goal safely and quickly.

long -term perspectives of the infrastructure

The elaborate construction work is necessary because the existing bridge has been in operation since 1970 and serious damage was discovered in 2021. The ongoing work is not only a reaction to the current problems, but also an investment in the future infrastructure of the region. The new bridge will offer a wider road and, unlike the old, has two traces, which can lead to a better traffic fluid.

makeshift bridge for traffic

Fortunately, the makeshift bridge, which was built last year, can be used for the traffic of the state road L49 on the site of the old bridge during the entire construction period. This measure ensures that residents and commuters can continue to maintain a stable connection.

Overall, this is an important construction project that not only has local effects, but also influences national traffic. The population is invited to find out more about the current traffic conditions and the intended diversions in good time.
