Elbe Tunnel undergoing full closure in February for the first time.
The upcoming month of February is set to see a significant development in the ongoing construction of the Hamburg-Hafen motorway interchange and the expansion of the A7 to eight lanes in the Heimfeld area.
Starting from February 16 to 19, a crucial milestone will be reached as DEGES carries out closures on the A7. During this period, the Elbtunnel and the A7 between two junctions will be completely closed. This closure is intended to avoid another closure on the A7 at a later date.
The closures will allow for the installation of a traffic sign bridge over the A7 in both directions, as well as the construction of a flyover, a connecting ramp between the A26 and A7. These works are part of the larger project management that also involves the construction of the Hamburg-Hafen motorway interchange.
The A7 closure has been coordinated with the K20 Hochstraße Elbmarsch project. Full roads and delays on detour routes such as A1, B75, and B73 in the Harburg area are expected during the closure.
It's worth noting that no specific details about the important milestone during the February closure were provided. The authority responsible for the expansion work of the A7 to eight lanes in the Heimfeld area and the construction of the transition section to the A26 is not explicitly mentioned in the available information.
The closures will also affect the on- and off-ramps, with the closure beginning on February 16 at 9 pm. The A7 between Heimfeld and Volkspark will continue to have weekend closures into the new year.
This February closure is an important step towards the completion of the project management, which aims to improve traffic flow and infrastructure in the Hamburg-Hafen area. Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses.
