Hackerbrücke closed to cars until end of November for preparatory works

The Hackerbrücke in Munich is affected by traffic restrictions until the end of November while the city's building department carries out preparatory work ahead of a planned general refurbishment of the bridge.

The telecommunications and power cables that currently run through the bridge deck are being moved onto a temporary scaffolding structure. This provisional arrangement for the utility lines is needed before the main refurbishment can go ahead.

In the first phase of the work, the building department worked on the pavement on the east side of the bridge, restricting pedestrian access there until 6 November. During this time the S-Bahn station could be reached from the west side, and a temporary set of traffic lights allowed pedestrians and cyclists to cross.

The second phase, expected to begin on 9 November, requires the bridge to be fully closed to private motor vehicles until the end of November. Drivers are being diverted via the Paul-Heyse underpass and the Donnersbergerbrücke, with signs marking the diversion. Pedestrians, cyclists and emergency vehicles can still use the Hackerbrücke during the closure.

Further details are set out in the city council's decision of 17 December 2025 on the general refurbishment of the Hackerbrücke and its approach bridge.
