Travel wave pulls over Hamburg: traffic jam to A7 and A1 threatens!

Travel wave pulls over Hamburg: traffic jam to A7 and A1 threatens!

Hamburg, Deutschland - This weekend marks the beginning of the autumn holidays in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, and the experts' traffic forecasts indicate a significant wave of travel. While drivers have to take care of the highways in long traffic jams, increased passenger volume is also expected at Hamburg Airport.

The ADAC has created a list of the most busiest routes and identifies the A7 and A1 motorways as particularly damaged. In particular, the area north and south of the Elbe tunnel on the A7 is influenced by massive construction work, which results in speed restrictions of up to 60 km/h. The A1 is also affected by construction sites, which continues to complicate the situation for travelers.

The latest developments at Hamburg Airport

A passenger rank of around 58,000 travelers is expected at Hamburg Airport for Saturday and Sunday. This number is in the context of the holiday period, since the autumn holidays in Bremen and Lower Saxony end. Airport spokeswoman Katja Bromm realizes that these weeks are the most frequented frequented since the beginning of Corona pandemic. Court destinations such as Mallorca, the Canary Islands and Turkey are particularly in demand this autumn.

Passengers should plan enough time in advance, since the security controls are already open from 3:30 a.m. The airport recommends appearing at least two hours before departure to ensure a smooth process. Additional services such as the possibility of booking a time window for security control or giving up luggage the previous day are also available to travelers.

Construction sites and interruptions in rail traffic

Deutsche Bahn uses the autumn holidays to carry out extensive construction work in its route network. The connection between Berlin and Hamburg remains closed to long -distance traffic until mid -December, and travelers have to adjust to diversions via Lüneburg, Uelzen and Salzwedel. This means that due to a single -track section, one train runs only one train an hour, which extends the travel time by at least 45 minutes.

In addition, replacement buses are used in regional traffic between Hamburg and Schwerin, while travelers between Lübeck and Neustadt/Holstein also have to switch to buses. The Hamburg S-Bahn is also affected by construction work. Lines S1 and S2 use the holiday season for construction work on the railway overpasses via the A7 and in other important places. Passengers are referred to replacement buses, which could lead to potential delays.

The traffic situation during the autumn holidays requires increased patience and planning from travelers. Experts warn that the combination of construction work and the simultaneous rush of holidaymakers will put a particularly heavy burden on traffic. Especially for drivers on the main traffic axes, it will therefore be important to pursue traffic radio and, if necessary, plan alternative routes in order to avoid long waiting times.
