The Bundesautobahn 96 (abbreviation: BAB 96 ) - short form: Autobahn 96 (abbreviation: A 96 ) begins at the state border near Lindau (Lake Constance) and ends in Munich . It has a length of 172.5 km and connects the Lake Constance region , eastern Switzerland and Vorarlberg with the five lakes region and the greater Munich area.

course

The A 96 begins as a continuation of the Austrian Rheintal / Walgau motorway A14 (coming from the transition of the Arlberg expressway S 16 near Bludenz via Feldkirch , Bregenz through the Pfänder tunnel to the Austrian-German border in Hörbranz ) near Lindau (Lake Constance) in Bavaria . To the north, the motorway reaches the state of Baden-Württemberg after eight kilometers . The cities of Wangen im Allgäu and Leutkirch im Allgäu follow in a north-easterly direction . The route then crosses the Iller and reaches Bavaria again. In the further course the A 96 reaches the motorway junction Memmingen , where the federal motorway 7 is crossed. The main direction of travel is on the A 7 towards Ulm . The A 96 to Munich branches off here.

The confluence of the A 96 with the Mittlerer Ring in Munich

The route continues past Memmingen. This is followed by Mindelheim , Buchloe (junction with federal highway 12) and Landsberg am Lech with Germany's largest roundabout (intersection with federal highway 17). North on Ammersee 96 by leader reaches the A at Germering the Bundesautobahn 99 (Munich ring), and the city of Munich. The Bundesautobahn 96 ends in Munich at the Mittlerer Ring in the Sendling-Westpark district .

From Lindau to Memmingen the A 96 is part of the European route 43 , from Sigmarszell to Munich part of the European route 54 . At the Landsberg am Lech-West junction, the motorway-like, four-lane expansion of federal highway 17 , which is part of the abandoned planning of the A 91 , ends .

With the exception of the Mindelheim bypass between Erkheim and Bad Wörishofen and the section from Memmingen to the Iller, the route of the A 96 runs almost exactly on the former route of federal highway 18 (section Lindau - Buchloe) or federal highway 12 (section Buchloe - Munich), so that these roads have gradually been replaced by the A 96 as a result of the gradual expansion of the motorway since the 1970s. From Wangen-Nord to the Austrian border and between Leutkirch-West and Memmingen-Ost and from the Erkheim exit to the Bad Wörishofen exit, the A 96 with the Kohlberg tunnel (between Erkheim and Stetten (Swabia) ) was completely rebuilt.

The Munich A 99 motorway ring begins and ends in the A 96 in the Munich-South-West triangle . The Munich city entrance of the A 96 was planned as the A 997 from today's triangle Munich-South-West .

Traffic volume

In 2015 there were a total of seven automatic counting points along the A 96. In the west-east direction, the average daily traffic volume during this period was:

Counting point	Motor vehicle traffic / day	Heavy traffic / day
Lindau (S) (9250)	31,360	3,756
Cheeks (8120)	34,057	3,827
Leutkirch – West (8041)	39,956	4,886
Stetten (W) (9550)	38,448	5,061
Landsberg am Lech-Nord (O) (9136)	62,547	5,885
Graefelfing (W) (9222)	99,375	4.231

Significance of the motorway within the trunk road network

The A 96 connects the south-west Bavarian region with western Austria, eastern Switzerland , Liechtenstein and Italy . The Lake Constance area is also connected to the north via the connection with the A 7 in the direction of Würzburg .

The Ammersee in the Fünfseenland is connected via the connection points Greifenberg (Ammersee-west bank) and Inning am Ammersee (Ammersee-east bank). It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bavaria and one of the preferred local recreation areas for the people of Augsburg and Munich. From the two metropolitan areas, each only around 50 km away, there is heavy excursion traffic on nice weekends via the A 96.

history

prehistory

Long stretches of the Lindau - Munich connection run on the former routes of Bundesstrasse 12 and Bundesstrasse 18. These were little developed until the 1960s. This changed with the construction of numerous bypasses.

Already in the 1930s it was planned to expand the connection from Munich to Lindau as a motorway. The route should take the direct route, south past the Ammersee, via Kempten to Lindau. The plans after the Second World War envisaged the connection to Munich via the A 98 and A 95 pre-Alpine autobahns .

Construction of the highway

Memmingen motorway junction

The A 96 was initially only planned as a connection to the Autobahn to Würzburg as far as Memmingen. This can still be seen today at the Memmingen junction with the A 7. When the plans for the A 98 were abandoned in 1980 due to the enormous costs, insufficiently verifiable demand and lack of acceptance, the expansion of the route between Memmingen and Munich was pushed ahead.

The network concept from the 1960s envisaged a route further west of today's route for the route of the A 96 as a connection between Lindau and Ulm. In addition, the B 18 should be expanded. In 1974 the two plans were merged and the B 18 was to be expanded into the A 96.

In the course of preparations for the 1972 Summer Olympics , the A 96 was built to shortly after Oberpfaffenhofen , to Germering (at that time still the Unterpfaffenhofen junction) with six lanes. Until the gap was closed, the autobahn began at 0.0 km in Munich. This section was first rebuilt with four lanes as the B 12 . After completion, this former B 12 was given the street name Ammerseestrasse in the area from Munich-Sendling to Munich-Blumenau within the state capital of Munich , which has been retained to this day. Also because of this and because the A 96 runs past the northern end of the Ammersee, the A 96 is also called the Ammersee autobahn.

The Landsberg am Lech bypass (also new as the B 12 ) was completed by 1979 . One lane near Memmingen was completed in 1978 ( new as the B 18 ), the second was added in 1990. In 1980 the short stretch from Lindau to the federal border was completed.

In 1988 a 3.5 kilometer long section from Landsberg am Lech towards Munich was opened, the section in the other direction to Jengen was opened in 1989. A year later, the sections from Bad Wörishofen to Mindelheim and from Landsberg am Lech-Ost followed for around four kilometers to the east.

As a result, the sections, which had already been expanded to look like a motorway, were upgraded to the A 96. In 1994, the Mindelheim bypass with the Kohlberg tunnel was completed shortly before Erkheim and east of Landsberg am Lech to Schöffelding . In 1996 the section to Inning am Ammersee followed with the Echinger tunnel. From 1998 the A 96 was continuously passable with the completion of the Etterschlager Tunnel and the continuation of the motorway to Germering on the Upper Bavarian side.

The Jengen – Bad Wörishofen section followed in 2002, before connecting to the section between Memmingen and Erkheim in July 2008. Construction work on the Memmingen-Ost and Erkheim section began in 2004.

The section between Holzgünz and Erkheim was completed in November 2007. The construction work for the 12.3 km long section between Memmingen-Ost and Holzgünz began in October 2004 and was completed on July 8, 2008. The costs for this amounted to 56 million euros.

The expansion of the last section between Wangen-Nord and Leutkirch-Süd began on October 21, 2005 and was completed on November 23, 2009. The costs for this section amounted to 75 million euros. This replaced the last remaining section of the B 18 and completed the Federal Highway 96.

In 2005, as part of the connection to the A 99, the area of ​​today's Munich-Southwest motorway triangle was slightly rebuilt. In the junction area, the third lane was omitted in both directions. To the east of the triangle, the Munich-Freiham-Süd exit was built. Another renovation was carried out at the Landsberg am Lech-West junction at the end of the 2000s. This is where Germany's largest roundabout with a diameter of 330 meters was created when the motorway-like federal highway 17 was connected.

Further planning

Six-lane expansion between Germering Süd and Oberpfaffenhofen

Since May 2017, around nine kilometers of the A 96 between the Germering Süd and Oberpfaffenhofen junctions have been expanded from four to six lanes. For this purpose, the Federal Republic of Germany is investing around 100 million euros as a building contractor, of which two thirds will be used for the construction of noise protection galleries. The construction time should be three years.

Gräfelfing tunnel extension

Due to the increased traffic on the A 96 in the Gräfelfing municipality (increase in 2010 compared to 2005 by 34%), the Gräfelfing municipality commissioned a feasibility study in 2010 to achieve better noise protection. After the basic assessment with an interim report to the mayor on October 27, 2010, various variants were developed, which were presented to the Graefelfingen construction committee on May 5, 2011. This was followed by the assessment and an information event in the community center on December 14, 2011. In 2012, a recommendation was drawn up. An interim report followed on April 24, 2012 and the final report on August 24, 2012 in the municipal council. The feasibility study was presented to the general public on October 25, 2012.

Four variants were examined for the area west of the Graefelfing tunnel. The study spoke out in favor of noise optimization of the western tunnel portal. Four variants were also examined east of the Graefelfing tunnel. The study recommended extending the existing tunnel by 807 meters and then building a south gallery (direction Munich), another cover 79.5 m in length and a north gallery (direction Lindau) 453 m in length.

According to the feasibility study, the costs amount to around 165 million euros with a realization time of 10 to 15 years. Around 98 million euros could be raised from the proceeds from the sale of land, leaving a remaining amount of around 67 million euros. In view of the need to finance this amount, it has since been uncertain whether and when such a construction will take place.

Enclosure in the Munich city area

In October 2019, plans were rejected to house the 4.2 km long section in the Munich city area for noise protection reasons.

Engineering structures

Pillar of the Obere Argen viaduct

Buxheimer Wald local recreation area with 2 of 6 ponds

Buxachtal bridge

There are numerous bridges over the A 96 or bridges over the A 96 over roads and water.

The engineer Gerhard Pahl planned four bridges on the A 96 between Memmingen and Mindelheim and received the "German Bridge Construction Prize" for them.

Viaduct Obere Argen

→ Main article : Obere Argen viaduct

In the municipality of Wangen A 96 crosses on the viaduct Upper Argentine the valley of the upper Argentine on a cable-stayed bridge ( location ). The bridge was built between 1985 and 1990. The architect was Hans Kammerer, the company Schlaich, Bergermann und Partner sbp GmbH was responsible for the official draft and the static test. The construction companies were Dyckerhoff & Widmann AG and Walter Bau AG .

The width of the bridge is 29 m, the total length 730 m with a main span of 250 m. The bridge has a radius of curvature of 3000 m. The pylon is 55 m high. The ropes, the pylon and the track girders are made of steel.

After damage to the corrosion protection was found on the ropes of the viaduct, they were repainted in 2011 and 2012. While the corrosion was removed from the underside of the bridge and the corrosion protection reapplied, a new process was chosen as a pilot project on the upper side of the bridge. The ropes, including the existing coating, were wrapped with butyl rubber tapes that were applied by winding machines and industrial climbers . The protective devices in the median were also improved. The costs amounted to 2.5 million euros (equivalent to 2.709 million euros today) and were borne by the Federal Republic of Germany.

Herfatz tunnel

Also in the municipal area of ​​Wangen im Allgäu is the 440 m long Herfatz tunnel ( Lage ).

From 2012 to 2014 this tunnel was modernized to maintain traffic safety. In a first construction phase in 2012, the building for the fire water storage and pressure booster system as well as for the fire water retention basin was expanded to include a shell. In addition, a makeshift road was built so that the vehicles can be diverted in an emergency. In the subsequent steps, the technology in the tunnel was adapted to the current regulations. These include ventilation, lighting, heat exchangers and escape routes. In 2013, the tube in the direction of Munich was rehabilitated; in 2014, the tube in the direction of Lindau was rehabilitated. The costs of around 6.7 million euros were borne by the Federal Republic of Germany.

Buxachtal bridge

→ Main article : Buxachtal bridge

The municipal area of Buxheim highway cuts through the recreation area Buxheimer forest with six lakes and crosses the Buxachtalbrücke the Valley of Buxach on a box girder bridge ( location ).

The bridge was built in 1987. The construction company was Josef Hebel GmbH & Co. KG . The total length of the bridge is 310.4 m with a main span of 46.8 m. The superstructure width of the bridge is 12.65 m. The structure has a bridge area of ​​3930 m² on seven fields. The deck girder is made of reinforced concrete. The cost of the bridge amounted to 7.8 million DM (corresponds to 7.102 million euros today).

A fundamental renovation of the bridge will take place between 2017 and 2018.

Kohlberg tunnel

The Kohlberg tunnel ( Lage ) is located in the municipality of Erkheim .

The two tubes of the tunnel were built in 1994 and have a clearance height of 4.8 m. The length of the north tunnel (towards Lindau) is 602 m, that of the south tunnel (towards Munich) 598 m. The adaptation lighting has a strength of 136 cd / m², the day lighting 4.0 cd / m², night lighting 0.5 cd / m². There are four CO and four turbidity measuring devices as well as two fog detection measuring devices in the tunnel. There are six emergency call booths in the tunnel as well as automatic detectors from the fire alarm system. There is a barrier and traffic light system in front of each portal. The tunnel has an operations center with two retention basins as well as a 20 kV medium voltage system with a 400 kVA transformer, a low voltage main distribution and a 147 kVA transformer. If the mains power supply is interrupted, the 20 kVA UPS system can maintain operation for ten minutes. In addition, the operations center has a switchgear and central control with branch offices at the motorway maintenance authorities in Memmingen and Mindelheim. The total construction costs of the tunnel amounted to 26 million DM (corresponds to 18.98 million euros today).

From March to November 2009, the tunnel was retrofitted in terms of safety technology for 14 million euros. For this purpose, a powerful extinguishing water supply and a new ventilation system were installed. The lighting was changed and the interior walls were renovated and brightly coated. The escape route signage has been improved. In addition, new video cameras were installed. Communication with road users is ensured by means of voice connections in the emergency call niches, loudspeaker systems and slotted cables for broadcasting two traffic radio stations . The fire alarm system has received new and improved detectors.

Tunnel Eching am Ammersee

The Echinger Tunnel ( location ) is located in the municipality of Eching am Ammersee . The reinforced concrete tunnel was built in 1995 and is 400 m long and 24.6 m wide. PSP Consulting Engineers was responsible for the official draft, and Kling Consult was responsible for the structural design. The construction company was Universale Bau GmbH . The total cost of the tunnel was 37.7 million DM (corresponds to 27.03 million euros today).

The Autobahn Directorate South Bavaria carried out a modernization of the tunnel between 2015 and 2016 in full-day construction. Escape staircases and other emergency call niches with extinguishing water supply were built and an extinguishing water tank was built next to the company building. In the direction of Lindau, the free tube was used in two lanes and the parallel State Road 2070 (former B 12) was used for the direction of Munich. A provisional road to the south served as a replacement for the state road. In contrast to the Etterschlager Tunnel, the road layout presented the planners with greater challenges due to the development. A specially founded citizens' initiative represented the interests of the citizens of Echingen. Several information events took place. At an event on November 28, 2012, citizens were able to choose one of the proposed variants for traffic management. After this decision, the replacement lane of the motorway in Eching was led over a roundabout by means of a 400 m long bridge. On the south side of the replacement carriageway, an approximately three meter high noise barrier was built.

Bridge over the Amper

Between Eching am Ammersee and Inning am Ammersee , the A 96 crosses the Amper on an arched steel bridge ( Lage ). The arched bridge with steel composite deck is 70 m long, 16.5 m wide and weighs around 700 tons. The construction company was Maurer Söhne GmbH & Co. KG .

Etterschlag tunnel

The municipal area of Wörthsee is the 1998 built tunnel Etterschlag ( location ). The tunnel is 500 m long and has a clearance height of 4.60 m. It consists of two tubes and was built using an open construction method and has a rectangular profile with two lanes each 3.75 m wide, one hard shoulder each 1.5 m wide and one emergency walkway each 1.0 m wide. There is an escape staircase to the outside at the north tube. The adaptation lighting has a strength of 200 cd / m², the day lighting 3.0 cd / m², night lighting 0.5 cd / m². In the tunnel there are two CO and two turbidity measuring devices as well as a flow measuring device. There are four emergency, two electronic and 18 CO warning signs in the tunnel, as well as automatic detectors from the fire alarm system. The extinguishing water pipe is designed as a dry pipe. There is a traffic light system in front of each portal. The tunnel has an operations center with a retention basin, a pump system and automatic pump control, as well as a 20 kV transfer station from the energy supplier E.ON Bayern , a low-voltage main distribution system and an emergency diesel feed-in option. If the mains power supply is interrupted, the 30 kVA UPS system can maintain operation for 30 minutes. The operations center also has a switchgear and a central control system with a branch at the Inning motorway maintenance facility and the Munich-Freimann traffic computer center. The engineering office EDR GmbH was responsible for the object and structural planning.

Between spring 2015 and autumn 2016, the Southern Bavaria Autobahn Directorate modernized the Etterschlager Tunnel. Larger drainage and fire-fighting water pipes had to be installed. Since the road surface had to be torn up for this purpose, a complete blockage of one tunnel tube was necessary. Since the tubes are only 26 m wide, the entire volume of traffic would have to be handled in one tube with only one lane at a time. The resulting economic damage would amount to 50 million euros. Therefore, a two-lane provisional carriageway to Munich was built above ground for around 10 million euros. The traffic in the direction of Lindau was led through the open tube of the tunnel and temporary bridges were built for the intersecting state and municipal roads.

Graefelfing tunnel

The Gräfelfing tunnel ( Lage ) is located in the municipality of Graefelfing . The tunnel is 280 m long and, in addition to the buildings there, crosses under the Munich – Garmisch-Partenkirchen railway line and the Lochham S-Bahn station ( Munich S-Bahn ).

Motorway maintenance depots

As of January 1, 2016, the responsibilities for the A 96 were as follows:

• in the Memmingen motorway junction with the A 7 (128/13) and Landsberg am Lech-Nord junction (25) at the Mindelheim motorway maintenance facility,
• in the area of ​​junction Landsberg am Lech-Nord (25) and junction Germering-Süd (34) at the Inning am Ammersee motorway maintenance depot,
• in the area of ​​junction Germering-Süd (34) and junction Munich-Sendling (39) at the Munich-North / West motorway maintenance authority.

Rest areas

Rest area near Leutkirch

Despite its length, there is only one rest area on the A96 so far: the Lechwiesen rest area, which was opened on both sides in May 1996, is located between the Landsberg am Lech-West and Landsberg am Lech-Nord junctions. There are also several parking spaces along the route, some with toilet buildings.

To the south of the Wangen-West motorway junction, there is a geological nature trail at the Ettensweiler and Humbrechts rest areas. The boulders placed directly on the A 96 were recovered during the construction of the motorway (1987–1989) in a ground moraine of the Rhine glacier between the Upper and Lower Argen. Heavy construction machinery made it possible to collect the exposed boulders at both rest areas and to catalog them according to their origins. Travelers who stop there expect insights into the Ice Age events on Lake Constance.

Speed ​​limit

In the western part of the A 96 there is mostly no speed limit. The section near the border is therefore often used for illegal car races to which perpetrators from Switzerland also travel. In the area of ​​the Landsberg am Lech bypass, the speed is limited to 120 km / h, in the greater Munich area to 100 km / h and in the city of Munich to 80 km / h.

There is also a speed limit in the Kohlberg, Echinger and Etterschlager tunnels. This was initially set at 80 km / h. At the end of the 2000s, the Echinger and Etterschlager tunnels were increased to 100 km / h. The Herfatz tunnel has been back to 100 km / h since the renovation on October 22, 2014.
