The A1 from Lübeck before the triangle

The motorway junction Norderelbe (short triangle Norderelbe until 6 October 2019 junction Hamburg-Süd , shortly Hamburg-South ) is a highway junction in Hamburg . It connects the federal highway 1 ( Hansalinie ; E 22 ) with the federal highway 255 ( Veddel junction ).

As part of the downgrading of the A 252 to B 75 on October 6, 2019, the previous cross was Hamburg-Süd in Autobahndreieck Norderelbe renamed.

geography

The motorway triangle is located in the city of Hamburg , more precisely in the districts of Wilhelmsburg and Veddel in the Hamburg-Mitte district . It is located about 5 km south of downtown Hamburg and about 5 km northeast of Hamburg-Harburg .

The Norderelbe runs around one kilometer to the east and is crossed by the A1 in the direction of Lübeck on the Moorfleet motorway bridge . The Georgswerder energy mountain is located immediately to the west of the cross .

It is also the only junction of German motorways that is entirely on an island.

The motorway triangle has junction number 36 on the A 1 and number 2 on the A 255.

Design and state of development

The A 1 has six lanes, the A 255 is partially expanded to up to eight lanes, as it also includes the connections between the B 75 from the Hamburg-Elbinsel junction and the A 1. For example, three structurally separate two-lane carriageways run side by side on a small stretch to the north. The connecting ramps of the motorways are two-lane.

The motorway triangle is designed as a left-hand trumpet and is a so-called TOTSO , because to be able to stay on the A1 from the south, you have to leave the main lane. However, if you follow this, you automatically switch to the A 255.

The former Hamburg-Süd motorway junction essentially consisted of two interconnected motorway triangles, so it could be divided into a north and a south part. The former northern part formed a complete triangle . He took up the A 255.

Traffic volume

The Hamburg-Süd junction was used by an average of around 190,000 vehicles per day.
