Autumn Holiday Getaway Brings Long Jams on Hamburg’s A1 and A7 as Crashes Clear

Holiday traffic reports show hour-long delays following police clearance of two crashes.

Overview

  • ADAC logged at least one hour of extra travel between Bordesholm and the Ellund border on the A7 toward Flensburg.
  • On the A1 from Lübeck toward Bremen, a 13‑kilometre queue between Hamburg‑Ost and Stillhorn cost drivers about an hour.
  • Southbound A7 traffic saw an eight‑kilometre backup between Bordesholm and Neumünster‑Süd with heavy stop‑and‑go and at least an hour’s delay.
  • Another A7 stretch between HamburgHeimfeld and Hamburg‑Othmarschen was congested for seven kilometres with roughly a 30‑minute loss.
  • Police said a three‑car rear‑end crash on the A1 near Kreuz Bargteheide caused minor injuries and temporary lane closures, while a later A7 crash near Horster Dreieck briefly shut two lanes before full reopening around 15:00.
