Autumn holidays and bridge day: traffic jam chaos awaited on A1 and A7!

On this upcoming weekend, the autumn holidays in Lower Saxony and Bremen start, which is known to have a strong influence on traffic on the highways in northern Germany. The ADAC Lower Saxony/Saxony-Anhalt warned a weekend that could be characterized by traffic jams. Especially on the highly frequented north-south highways, such as the A1 and A7, drivers have to expect significant delays. These two motorway sections are often affected by construction sites, which also tightens the situation.

With the upcoming bridge day after the day of German unity and the beginning of the autumn holidays, traffic will be condensed in particular around large cities such as Hannover, Hamburg, Bremen and Osnabrück. The ADAC advises all travelers, especially on Wednesday afternoon, the holiday itself and in the following three weekends. The other North German federal states will only follow from October 21st with their autumn holidays.

Bundesautobahn GmbH has identified the particularly damnable routes in the north. One of the most endangered sections is the A1, which runs from Heiligenhafen-Ost to the Kreuz Hamburg-Ost, as well as the A7, which connects Hamburg with Flensburg. The increase in the car, which is also foreseeable during holiday traffic, is expected to lead to long traffic jams.

In particular, building situations can cause angered waiting on the streets. Therefore, all travelers are advised to avoid strongly stressed routes. A critical section of the A7, which extends from the Ellund border crossing to the Bordesholm triangle, is particularly susceptible to traffic jams according to the recommendations of Autobahn GmbH.

In order to reduce the likelihood of getting into a traffic jam, the ADAC has published a list of the current routes. These are:

  • A1: Bremen - Osnabrück

  • A2: Hannover - Kassel
  • A7: Hamburg - Hannover
  • A27: Cuxhaven - Bremen - Walsrode
