Overview
- Hamburg’s A7, including the Elbtunnel, is fully closed from Friday 22:00 to Monday 05:00 between Stellingen and Heimfeld for Elbmarsch works, with traffic redirected on long detours via the A1 and B205.
- Lübeck has fully closed the 130‑year‑old Mühlentorbrücke after a special inspection found serious damage, forcing reroutes for twelve bus lines and a multi‑year, heritage repair now slated to start in autumn 2026.
- Berlin’s Westendbrücke replacement on the A100 breaks ground today with federal and city leaders attending, as residents protest limited formal participation and noise protection; completion is targeted for summer 2027 alongside the Ringbahn bridge.
- One hundred days after the A100 link to Treptower Park opened, TomTom data show weekday trips toward the Elsenbrücke remain markedly slower than in 2024 despite signal changes, with relief expected only after the first new Elsenbrücke section opens in late January.
- Following November ramp demolitions at Duisburg’s Kreuz Kaiserberg, Deutsche Bahn will close all tracks from Duisburg toward Essen and Oberhausen from January 9 to February 6, 2026, curtailing long‑distance stops and replacing regional trains with buses on key segments.
