The works will affect the A1 motorway and the A255. The northbound carriageway of the A1 will be closed between the AD Norderelbe (36) and AD HH-Südost (35) junctions from 20:00 on Friday, 25 April until 5:00 on Monday, 28 April.
At the same time, the junction with the A255 on the A1 towards Lübeck (direction Lübeck) will also be closed.
The closure is due to the replacement of a temporary structure on the northbound Norderelbbrücke bridge. According to Autobahn GmbH, the operator of Germany’s motorways, the works will require a complete suspension of northbound traffic (towards Lübeck) on the section between the Norderelbe and HH-Südost junctions.
Local diversions
During the closure, the following diversions will be in place:
- Northbound drivers will be redirected from the Norderelbe junction (36) via the A255, B75 and B5 to the HH-Billstedt junction (33).
- Drivers approaching from the south on the B75 (“Wilhelmsburger Reichsstraße”) heading towards Lübeck will also be diverted via the A255, B75 and B5 to the HH-Billstedt junction (33).
Alternative routes for long-distance and HGV traffic
The following alternative routes are recommended for long-distance and heavy goods traffic:
- From Bremen and Hanover towards the Baltic Sea: A7 → B205 → A21 → A20
- From the Baltic Sea heading south: A20 → A21 → B205 → A7
- From the areas around Lüneburg, Uelzen and Wolfsburg: Exit the B404 at the Handorf junction and continue via the A39, B404 and A25 to rejoin the A1 towards the Baltic Sea
