traffic information and dialing points

The A7 extends over an impressive 962 kilometers and is the longest motorway in Germany. It runs from Handewitt in the north to Füssen in the south, crossing several federal states. The expansion state varies between 2 × 2, 2 × 3 and 2 × 4 lanes. The traffic flow of motorway junctions and in large cities, especially during the holiday season, is particularly high. A special hotspot is the Elbe tunnel near Hamburg, which is used every day by over 150,000 vehicles, which often leads to traffic jams.

The A7 is heavily burdened during the summer months, especially in July and August. Regular construction sites lead to traffic disruptions and critical times such as Friday afternoons and the return trip on Sunday increase the susceptibility to traffic jams. Planned expansion measures at various points should ensure relief in the future, including between Schweinfurt/Werneck and Biebelried as well as between Hittistetten and Illertissen.

The coming days could become particularly challenging for drivers on the A7. Plan your trip forward -looking and keep informed about the current traffic situation! Additional information and reports about the A7 can also be accessed on stau-a7.de.
