Hamburg Reopens U3 Service After Truck Hits Kellinghusenstraße Bridge

The suspension ended after a safety inspection by a structural engineer confirmed no major damage from the stuck lorry.

Overview

  • An overheight truck became lodged under the U3 bridge at Kellinghusenstraße on Tuesday afternoon, interrupting service and risking structural harm.
  • Firefighters contained a hydraulic-oil leak from the vehicle, preventing environmental hazards and wider traffic disruptions.
  • Hamburger Verkehrsverbund ran bus replacements and a single-track shuttle between Kellinghusenstraße and Saarlandstraße to maintain commuter links.
  • A police-commissioned structural engineer inspected the bridge overnight and cleared it for safe use early Wednesday.
  • U3 trains resumed full operation with no injuries reported and minimal impact on road traffic.
