Hamburg's A7 Elbtunnel reopened early, easing traffic

The A7 Elbtunnel in Hamburg has reopened, ending a closure that impacted commuters. The tunnel's early reopening provides relief for drivers. The Autobahn GmbH announced the tunnel's reopening on Sunday evening, ahead of the initially scheduled Monday morning. Construction work, including upgrades to the tunnel control center, cable installations, and asphalt repairs, was completed sooner than expected. The closure, which began Friday night, had affected access to the Volksparkstadion, where Ed Sheeran performed. The early reopening allows for smoother traffic flow.
