Overview
- The B73 in Harburg, which suffered a ruptured water main Wednesday morning near Bleicherweg, remains shut in both directions after water undercut the road.
- Hamburg Wasser cut off the damaged 50-centimeter pipe and stabilized supply after about an hour of low pressure in Harburg and Wilstorf.
- Officials expect the full closure to last at least through Sunday, with a target to reopen one lane each way by Monday morning.
- Police urge drivers to avoid the area because a common detour via Fürstenmoordamm and the A7 Hausbruch junction is also closed for roadwork until Thursday.
- The four-lane B73 links Harburg’s center and the B75 to the A7, so the shutdown could slow buses and S3 replacement service and push traffic into nearby streets.
