Traffic disruptions on Elbtunnel and A7 highway this weekend of the first week in July
Heya there! Heading your way, some juicy details on the traffic situation in Hamburg next month, and a bash you won't wanna miss!
So, here's the lowdown: Between July 4th and 7th, the A7 motorway's chucked out of commission due to construction works. Yeah, I know, sucks for us commuters, right? Even the Elbtunnel's out of bounds during this time. Why're they doing this? Trying to make the A7 eight lanes in Hamburg, y' see, and building a two-kilometer long noise barrier tunnel in Altona.
What's more, it's the summer holidays in several German states like Niedersachsen and Bremen, so expect plenty of folks cruising around. The ADAC's already warning about possible bottlenecks, and they're rerouting traffic through the A1, A21, and B205 to cope with it.
Now, hold on tight because things are about to get exciting! Ed Sheeran's puttin' on three shows at Volksparkstadion on July 4th, 5th, and 6th. Over 150,000 fans are expected to attend! If you plan to go, I'd recommend bookin' your transport early and hoppin' on public transit to beat the queues.
Oh, and on July 5th, there's the Schlagermove—an awesome music festival featuring loads of trucks! The event kicks off early afternoon on Heiligengeistfeld and marches through the Landungsbrücken, Reeperbahn, and Hafenstraße. Expect street closures along the route and around Talstraße/Große Elbstraße from 12:00 PM.
Lastly, the organizers are recommending road users to ditch their cars and hop on public transport or plan ample time for travel during the disruptions. Info about traffic restrictions and diversions can be found on the respective event organizers and transport authorities' websites.
