Overview

• Officials have slashed northbound A1 capacity over the Norderelbbrücke to two lanes following the start of under-bridge inspections on August 18.
• The ramp from the A255 onto the A1 toward Lübeck and Berlin at the Dreieck Norderelbe has been closed, forcing motorists to head toward Bremen and loop back at Hamburg-Stillhorn.
• Commercial vehicles remain barred from entering the A1 northbound at Dreieck Norderelbe since the March routing ban, with heavy trucks rerouted via Hamburg-Harburg.
• Temporary single-lane bottlenecks formed during morning peak as traffic control teams marked new lane patterns and signage.
• Autobahn GmbH Nord and the Verkehrsleitzentrale have issued detour recommendations via the B5 to the Billstedt interchange and anticipate a short adjustment period for drivers.
