The Südschnellweg is a predominantly four-lane motor road in Hanover . It begins in the Ricklingen district and leads through the Döhren , Seelhorst , Bemerode and Kirchrode districts to Anderten .

course

The Südschnellweg was built in 1954. Together with the Westschnellweg , the Messeschnellweg and other expressways , it is part of the concept of the " car-friendly city " developed by the city ​​planning officer Rudolf Hillebrecht after the Second World War , in which long-distance traffic is to be guided around the city center on expressways. The town planning of the Lower Saxony state capital became known as the “ miracle of Hanover ” in the 1950s.

Course of the southern expressway in the Hanoverian expressway network with the federal highways B 3, B 6 and B 65

The Südschnellweg begins west in Hanover-Ricklingen at the Landwehrkreisel, where Frankfurter Allee joins the B 6 and B 65 federal highways from the north and the B 3 from the south . From here the three federal highways are led together to the east via the Südschnellweg.

The Südschnellweg crosses the Leine , the Ricklinger Kiesteiche , Hildesheimer Straße and at the Seelhorster Kreuz the Messeschnellweg . There the B 3 branches off to the north and the B 6 to the south. It then crosses Bemeroder Strasse and Brabeckstrasse as well as the Mittelland Canal at the Anderten lock and ends at the city limits of Hanover in the Anderten district after the Hanover-Anderten junction ( A 7 federal motorway ). The B 65 continues east there.

Bridge Hildesheimer Strasse

Previously fully functional bridge in Döhren

The 484-meter-long bridge on the Südschnellweg over Hildesheimer Straße in Döhren has had cracks since the 2010s and had to be closed to heavy goods transport in 2012 . Due to a further deterioration in the condition, two of the four lanes were closed in June 2013. The bridge has been temporarily secured since 2014. Nevertheless, the single-lane traffic routing will be maintained until the new building in the mid-2020s. In 2015, an ideas competition for the construction of the crossing of Hildesheimer Straße started. Due to current noise protection regulations, the bridge could not be rebuilt in its previous form. In 2015 the first ideas were either a bridge structure at the same location with high noise barriers, a new bridge a little further north next to the railway line or a trough or tunnel structure, ultimately the decision was made in favor of a tunnel.
