ADAC Cyclassics Hamburg 2024: Traffic and Road Closure Information

Preparations are underway for the much-anticipated ADAC Cyclassics Hamburg, scheduled to take place on a date in 2024. With the event just around the corner, it's essential for motorists and pedestrians to be aware of the traffic and road closure schedules.

Navigating to the Freilichtmuseum am Kiekeberg is straightforward. From the south (A255), take the HH-Veddel Hafen exit and follow signs towards Veddel. To reach Ehestorf, take the exit, then follow Ehestorfer Heuweg, Emmetal, and Appelbüttler Straße. For Wildpark Schwarze Berge, take exit 31 HH-Hausbruch from the A7, follow signs towards Cuxhaven, take the exit towards Ehestorf, and follow Ehestorfer Heuweg and Emmetal, turning right at the first possible entrance.

Alternatively, to reach Cruise Center Steinwerder, drive under the racetrack via Ellerholzweg and Steinwerder Damm. Motorists should expect numerous road closures on Sunday, especially in and around the start and finish areas, which may open earlier for setup and dismantling.

In Hamburg, roads are closed and reopened at fixed times. However, closures in the start and finish areas may begin earlier for setup and dismantling. In contrast, in the districts outside Hamburg (Stade, Harburg, Pinneberg), roads close about 45 minutes before the peloton arrives and reopen shortly after it passes.

For those planning to attend the event, it's worth noting that the race will start in Buxtehude for the first time, entering Lower Saxony. The professional race will cover a record-breaking 207 kilometers, the longest in the 28-year history of the Cyclassics. The Waseberg hill will be climbed five times during the race.

The Freilichtmuseum am Kiekeberg is signposted at a specific roundabout, making it easy to find. The race will cross the Köhlbrand Bridge after a longer break. There will be two courses, 60 and 110 kilometers in length.

Approximately 11,000 amateur athletes will participate in the race. Comprehensive traffic management information is available on the website "verkehr.cyclassics-hamburg.de". For questions, organizers provide an email contact: [email protected].

A one-way street parallel to the racetrack will be set up, allowing all vehicles to reach the Cruise Center Steinwerder. Departure from Cruise Center Steinwerder is only possible southwards for cars with a maximum width of less than 2.25 meters. The links for Alternative Arrival to Cruise Center Steinwerder and Arrival 2 to Cruise Center Steinwerder are available at "https://maps.app.goo.gl/65pz3gi3TNUwVywa9" and "https://maps.app.goo.gl/zURLyxT9vFSHAq2J8", respectively.

Large signs are posted about two weeks prior to the race indicating the route and closures. For real-time updates or detailed alternative routes, contacting [email protected] is recommended. With these guidelines in mind, we hope everyone can enjoy the ADAC Cyclassics Hamburg 2024 safely and conveniently.
