Traffic - Truck on fire - Hamburg Elbe tunnel closed

Due to a burning truck, the Hamburg Elbtunnel is closed. "All four tubes, all directions are still closed," a spokesperson for the traffic control center said. There are long traffic jams. "We already have good ten kilometers on both sides." The truck has been extinguished meanwhile, but the work of the fire department is still ongoing. Cars should try to avoid the area as much as possible.

The closure of the Hamburg Elbtunnel due to a truck fire is causing significant traffic issues in Germany. With all tubes still closed, alternate routes through Hamburg are advised, as fires in the tunnel continue to affect traffic flow near the Elbe river.
