Overview
- Autobahn GmbH Nord ordered a full closure of the A1 between Moorfleet and Billstedt from noon to 3 p.m. to recover a broken heavy transport using two heavy-duty cranes.
- Traffic in Hamburg was routed off the A1 via Ring 2, Horner Rampe and the B5 with the U87 diversion, after the trailer became immobile on the hard shoulder due to a technical defect.
- Two separate trailer fires on the A7 in the Heidekreis caused multi-hour shutdowns, including a hazard load of roughly 50 tonnes of lithium batteries that did not ignite.
- One lorry driver was hospitalized for smoke inhalation, and lanes reopened in stages overnight as firefighting, cleanup and investigations continued.
- Austrian blockabfertigung limited truck crossings to about 300 per hour, creating queues up to 33 kilometers on the Inntalautobahn before controls ended late morning and police sent every eighth truck back to the motorway while sanctioning violations.
