Road Alert: 55-hour road blockage on A1 highway and additional events cause traffic disruptions in Hamburg city center

In Hamburg this weekend, residents and visitors can expect some changes in traffic patterns due to a series of events and an A1 motorway closure.

The Hamburg Police Department has urged the public to make use of public transportation to minimise traffic congestion in the city centre and western Hamburg. This is particularly important as several demonstrations are scheduled to take place in the city centre.

For those who are unable to use public transportation, the police advise avoiding the affected areas and planning more time for their journey. Detours will be available for drivers during the A1 motorway closure between Hamburg-Billstedt interchange and Norderelbe motorway junction.

On a positive note, football fans will be excited to know that Hamburger SV will host 1. FC Heidenheim at 15:30 in their second home game of the season at Volksparkstadion (Bahrenfeld). This Bundesliga match is expected to add to the city's vibrant atmosphere.

For more information about the events and traffic disruptions in Hamburg, visit the official police department website at www.policei.hamburg. For media inquiries, please contact Patrick Schluse at 040 4286-56215 or [email protected].

It is important to note that the Behörde für Verkehr und Mobiltätswende (Authority for Transport and Mobility Transition) in Hamburg is responsible for issuing press releases about road and traffic closures, and for recommending the use of public transport. This agency actively shapes mobility in Hamburg and promotes environmentally friendly alternatives such as bus and rail transport.

Traffic disruptions are expected, but with careful planning and the use of public transportation, the events in Hamburg are set to be a success.
