If you want to get to the area south of the harbour in the quickest way possible, choose to go through the beautiful Elbtunnel in St. Pauli. A landmark of the City of Hamburg for over 100 years, the tunnel spans 426.5 metres to lead you directly to the Elbe island of Steinwerder. Pedestrians and bicyclists can use the tunnel all day and all night free of charge. For motor vehicles, the St. Pauli Elbtunnel is closed until further notice. Here is where you can find all the important information you need to know about how to use the Elbtunnel.
Full closure of the St. Pauli Elbtunnel from 18.11. - 06.12.2024
As part of the renovation work on the west tube of the St. Pauli Elbtunnel, the new road surface will be installed.
As the material to be used for sealing causes harmful fumes, the tunnel cannot be used by the public while the work is being carried out and will therefore be closed.
The period of the closure is from 18.11.2024 6:00 am to 06.12.2024 8:00 pm. The asphalting work will take place immediately afterwards. Although this will cause an odor nuisance, it will not pose any health risks, so the tunnel will be reopened from 20:00 on 06.12.2024 and will be available to the public as usual.

Replacement ferry service during the closure
In order to minimise the restrictions for cyclists due to the tunnel closure, HADAG is organising a replacement ferry service for the two weekends affected.
Line 75 will run hourly between 7 am and 7 pm on 23, 24, 30 November and 1 December.
The trips will run on the hour from Landungsbrücken (first departure 07.00, last departure 19.00) and at a quarter past from Steinwerder (first departure 07.15, last departure 19.15).
From Monday to Friday, the regular departures of line 75 from Steinwerder and line 73 from Theater im Hafen or Argentinienbrücke are available.
Diversion signs and information
The diversion via the Elbe bridges will be signposted accordingly in the areas of Hermann-Blohm-Straße, Reiherdamm and Klütjenfelder Straße. HADAG will also draw attention to the additional ferry service.
Thank you for your understanding.
Restrictions of cargo lifts until 31.12.2024
Due to extensive construction work as part of the renovation of the St. Pauli Elbtunnel, not all cargo lifts are available. Waiting times are therefore to be expected.
