City-bound lanes of Federal Road 73 have been shut down - Traffic is prohibited on Federal Highway 73.

The Bundesstraße 73 (B73) in Hamburg's Neugraben-Fischbek district is currently experiencing significant traffic disruption due to a serious accident involving a tractor with a trailer that overturned on the road. The accident, which was reported by the police on the X platform, has resulted in the road being closed for traffic heading into the city (stadteinwärts).

The tractor was carrying about ten tons of grain, which spilled across two lanes of the four-lane road, causing significant blockage. As a result, stadteinwärts traffic is completely blocked, and the highway is closed in this direction due to the accident and ongoing cleanup operations. Stadtauswärts traffic is still possible but limited to one lane, so some traffic can pass but with potential delays.

The police and fire department are on site, actively engaged in clearing the spilled grain and removing the overturned tractor and trailer. The cleanup work is expected to take some time due to the amount of spilled grain and the need to clear two lanes of the road.

Due to the closure, there are long traffic jams and heavy congestion, especially during the morning rush hour, as the B73 is a major arterial road connecting Hamburg and Cuxhaven. Authorities are advising drivers to avoid the area and seek alternative routes to circumvent the traffic disruption.

The cause of the accident has not yet been disclosed. Outbound, only one lane on the federal highway 73 is open, and the police have not yet lifted the advisory for drivers to avoid the area of the federal highway 73. The accident has caused significant traffic disruption, and commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly.

The B73, which connects Cuxhaven and Hamburg, is a heavily traveled road, and this accident is causing severe delays and a partial closure, with recovery efforts underway.

In light of the accident involving a tractor on the B73, characterized by the spillage of ten tons of grain and subsequent road closure for stadteinwärts traffic, the community policy urges drivers to avoid this area and opt for alternative routes to avert inconvenience caused by the traffic disruption. Furthermore, while outbound traffic can still move with restrictions, it is recommended that citizens planning their journeys account for potential delays as the vocational training teams work tirelessly to clear the road.
