General information on traffic

Here you will find an overview of the route of the ADAC Cyclassics 2025 as well as all important information on road closures in the districts of Stade, Harburg and Pinneberg, as well as the city of Hamburg. Large signs like this example will indicate where the route of the Cyclassics will be on August 17 from about 2 weeks before the race.

In Hamburg, we mostly work with fixed closing times - this means that the roads are closed at a certain time and also reopened at a fixed time. Please note that earlier closures are possible in the start and finish areas due to set-up and dismantling work.

In the districts of Stade, Harburg and Pinneberg, the roads along the route will be closed approximately 45 minutes before the arrival of the respective field of riders. As soon as the entire peloton, including support vehicles, has passed, the police will reopen the route. Depending on the situation, there may be short delays.

All times are "approximate times" as they depend on the speed of the race. The system ensures that the roads are only closed for as long as necessary.

Some sections of the route are used by several race fields. In these cases, the road between the fields remains closed - on the instructions of the police. However, pedestrians and drivers can cross the track safely at certain crossing points during race breaks.

Important: The marshals on site have no influence on the closing times. Please treat them with respect - they work on a voluntary basis.

General traffic information

Below you will find an overview of the closing times in Schleswig-Holstein, as well as for the Hamburg city area. In the city area, we mostly work with fixed closing times, which start at a fixed time and also end after fixed times - please note that the start and finish areas are closed early due to major construction work.

In Schleswig-Holstein, the respective road will be closed in the transit towns approx. 45 minutes before the arrival of the respective field. As soon as the field and all accompanying vehicles have passed, the police will open the road again. For operational reasons, these closures may continue for a moment after the field has passed. Please note that these are approximate closure times, which may vary depending on the average speed of the riders - this is how we ensure that the roads are only closed for the necessary duration of the individual races. In some cases, sections of the route are used by several race fields; the road remains closed between the individual race fields due to police orders, but the route can then be crossed at designated crossing points. You can find these crossing points and much more information on our interactive traffic map.

The marshals at the individual positions have no influence on the closure time. We therefore ask you to treat these volunteers with respect! If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, please send an email to verkehrsinfo(at)cyclassics-hamburg.de
