Traffic accident in Hamburg: U1 subway line between Volksdorf and Berne
Effects of the truck accident on the subway operation in the northeast of Hamburg
A serious accident with a truck has severely affected subway traffic on the U1 line in the northeast of Hamburg. For the time being, the traffic in both directions is set up between the Volksdorf and Berne stops. The accident occurred at the bridge near the Meiendorfer Weg stop when a saddle tractor with a excavated excavator pushed against the bridge and the excavator fell onto the street.
necessary repair work and replacement traffic
The Hochbahn immediately set up replacement traffic by bus to transport passengers. However, the examination showed that repairing the damaged bridge is essential in order to resume subway operation. The repair work is expected to begin in the course of Friday morning, and until then buses will take over the replacement traffic between Volksdorf and Berne.
blocking of the street for repair work
The Hochbahn also announced that the road must also be closed for the repair work. It is recommended to switch to alternative routes to avoid traffic disabilities.
The effects of the accident on the subway operation in northeast of Hamburg are still noticeable, and the Hochbahn works with high pressure to complete the repairs as soon as possible in order to bring the passengers back to the destination.
