Construction work at Hamburg Central Station: S-Bahn will be delayed until Pentecost!

At the weekend there are significant delays in S-Bahn traffic in Hamburg. The reason for this is construction work at the main train station, which will last until Whit Monday. Lines S1, S2, S3 and S5 are affected. Tracks 3 and 4 are closed, meaning the S-Bahn trains have to be rerouted via other tracks. This leads to delays that can range from five to 20 minutes for each line. The S1 runs between Ohlsdorf and Poppenbüttel every 20 minutes and will also be severely affected.

The planned construction work is to be carried out in time for the Pentecost weekend and will be completed on Monday. Passengers must be prepared to plan additional transfers in some cases, as diversions via other tracks are necessary to maintain traffic.

The S3 is the most affected and can arrive up to 20 minutes late, while the S5 is only up to five minutes late.

Additional restrictions on subway traffic

In addition to the S-Bahn delays, the U3 subway line will also be severely affected. There will be no subway services between the town hall and Berliner Tor until Whit Monday, as the railway will be carrying out bridge work during the same period. Alternative routes are available to U3 passengers. You can use the U2, U4 or the bus lines X35 and X80 to reach your destinations, such as NDR reported.

Traffic is also expected on the roads. The ADAC expects the roads on the A1 and A7 to be full, especially on Monday, the last day of the Whitsun holidays. Travelers and commuters should therefore prepare well and, if necessary, allow more time to reach their destination.
