The Alzey motorway junction (short: Kreuz Alzey ) connects the two motorways A 61 (junction no. 54) and A 63 (junction no. 8) north of the Rheinhessen wine town of Alzey .

The Alzey cross, located in the area of ​​the local community Albig , is only three-quarters of the way as a normal clover leaf . The transition from the A 63 from Mainz to the A 61 to Ludwigshafen am Rhein takes place via a long, two-lane bridge , similar to the Maltese cross construction . This type of transition was chosen because the A 63 in the direction of Kaiserslautern was not completely completed until more than three decades later in 2004. During this time, all heavy goods traffic was routed via the A 61 towards Ludwigshafen and then via the A 6 until the autobahn was finally completed . However, the importance did not decrease afterwards, because with the introduction of the truck toll and the blocking of federal road 9 between Mainz and Worms for through truck traffic , this crossing is now also increasingly used for road freight traffic.

The motorway junction also crossed the B 271 , which was downgraded to state road 401 on January 1, 2015. As well as the so-called total rail traffic between Alzey and Armsheim ( Alzey – Mainz and Rheinhessenbahn ).

The 380 kV line Rommerskirchen – Bürstadt – Hoheneck touches the cross in the northern area.

Traffic volume

The cross was used by around 87,000 vehicles every day in 2015.
