The state road 2520 (abbreviation: St 2520 , until 1 January 2016. Federal Highway 309 ) is a state highway in Bavaria ( administrative region of Swabia ). It leads from Kempten (Allgäu) to the German-Austrian border near Pfronten. Part of the route is part of the German Alpine Road .
On January 1, 2016, B 309 was downgraded to St 2520 along its entire length. The reason for this was that it ran largely parallel to the A7 , especially since the opening of the Füssen border tunnel .
course
Today's state road, which is identical to the former federal highway 309, begins in Kempten on Scheggstraße and runs along Duracher Straße to the southeast. The Oberallgäu district begins at the city limits . The state road reaches the municipality of Durach , crosses the village and then passes under the A 980 . Shortly afterwards it crosses the A 7 ( E 532 ). The motorway and the state road run parallel from here to AS Oy-Mittelberg (137).
The state road then turns south until it meets the B 310 , with which it shares the route to Nesselwang . In Pfronten-Weißbach the two streets separate again. The state road runs through Pfronten until it merges into Reuttener Landstrasse 69 southeast of Pfronten-Steinach on the state border with Austria ( Tyrol ). From here there is a connection to Reutte as well as to the Fernpassstraße (B 179) and into the Inn Valley .
On the common route with the B 310 (between Oy-Mittelberg and Pfronten-Weißbach), the route of the former B 309 forms a section of the German Alpine Road.
history
Previous routes and names
Bundesstrasse 309 emerged in 1949 from Reichsstrasse 309, which was built in the mid-1930s . Its course was identical to today's St 2520, apart from today's bypasses. After the connection with Austria (1938), the route was extended via Ullrichsbrücke ( R 17 ), Reutte (R 17), Lermoos ( R 24 ), Fernpassstraße and Nassereith (R 24) to Telfs ( R 31 ).
Replacements
Up until the opening of the Füssen border tunnel (1999), the line was an important link between the then Oy-Mittelberg motorway end and the Fernpass and was heavily congested at the beginning and end of the holiday . Today most of this traffic runs on the German A 7 and the Austrian B 179.
