The junction Oberhausen-Zentrum (abbreviation: AS Oberhausen-Zentrum ) is a motorway junction in North Rhine-Westphalia . This is where the federal autobahn 42 ( Kamp-Lintfort - Duisburg - Gelsenkirchen - Dortmund ; Emscherschnellweg ) and the federal road 223 ( Oberhausen - Mülheim an der Ruhr ) intersect, which merges 500 m north into the autobahn 516 .
geography
The junction is located in the middle of the Ruhr area in Oberhausen at the transition from the A 516 to the B 223, but the A 516 ends about 500 m north in the Oberhausen-Eisenheim junction , so that it is just an intersection of the A 42 and the B 223. The Grafenbusch settlement , the Emscher and Lindnerstrasse, which leads to Lirich and the Niederrhein stadium, are in the immediate vicinity . The Neue Mitte Oberhausen and Oberhausen City can be reached quickly via the B 223.
history
The Oberhausen-Zentrum junction was built together with the construction of the section from the Oberhausen-West motorway junction to the Oberhausen-Neue Mitte junction , which was then still called Oberhausen-Osterfeld .
Design and state of development
The A 42 has six lanes, the B 223 too, and the A 516 from Eisenheim has four lanes. All connecting ramps are single-track.
The junction was designed as a non-plan-free link between two motorways, so that all connections are light signal-controlled . All left-turning processes, with the exception of the turning process from the A 516 to the A 42 in the direction of Dortmund, are handled via the midpoint of the intersection. The connection mentioned threads itself into the Autobahn 42 via a long loop.

future
Due to its location directly behind the end of the A 516, the junction is a light signal-controlled motorway junction, although it is not free of elevations, so that most turning operations are carried out at the same height. However, since the A 516 / B 223 is Oberhausen's north-south axis, traffic jams often occur at peak times. However, there are currently no plans to convert the junction into a complete motorway junction.
Remarks
- ↑ No data are available for the section from the A 42 to there, which is why the next southern area for which data is available was selected here.
