Construction sites on main traffic and federal highways Hamburg

Construction site coordination in Hamburg
The preservation of the infrastructure is of fundamental importance for the development of Hamburg. Therefore, construction sites in the street space are part of the normal picture - to the chagrin of local residents and road users. In many cases, however, it is not work on the road itself that leads to disabilities, but the many supply and disposal lines in the road body or the construction projects of private individuals. Approximately 25,000 jobs per year on Hamburg's road network, of which over 3,700 are on major roads, therefore require careful coordination to minimise obstacles to traffic flow.
This is the task of the Traffic Optimization Department at the Department of Transport and Mobility Transition. Here, the incoming information of all road construction departments, pipeline companies and private builders is collected and evaluated. The information for the most important construction sites is published with a 7-day preview on the Internet at www.hamburg.de/baustellen. When coordinating construction sites, the aim is to prevent simultaneous construction sites, e.g. on important parallel roads, so that traffic has trouble-free alternative routes. However, no matter how good coordination can absolutely prevent congestion. The Hamburg road network is partly busy and partly overloaded in the morning and evening rush hour. Therefore, we recommend every road user to inform himself about the current traffic situation before starting the journey and only then to choose a suitable means of transport including route.
