The Neuss-Süd motorway triangle (abbreviation: AD Neuss-Süd ) is a trumpet- shaped motorway triangle in North Rhine-Westphalia in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region . It connects the federal highway 46 ( Düsseldorf - Wuppertal ) with the federal highway 57 ( Goch - Cologne ; Trans-Niederrhein-Magistrale ; E 31 ).
geography
The motorway triangle lies in the urban area of Neuss . The closest districts are Norf , Uedesheim and Allerheiligen . It is located about 6.2 km southeast of Neuss-Zentrum (Landestheater), about 7.4 km southwest of Düsseldorf ( Graf-Adolf-Platz ), 25 km south of Krefeld and about 28 km northwest of Cologne ( Domplatte ). Immediately to the west of the junction begins a common route of the A 46 and the A 57 to the Neuss-West junction .
The Neuss-Süd motorway triangle has junction number 21 on the A 46 and number 24 on the A 57.
history
The Neuss-Süd motorway triangle was created in 1983 when the A 46 was connected to the A 57 that had been running there since the first half of the 1960s.
Design and state of development
The Autobahn 57 has been expanded to six lanes in the area of the Autobahn triangle, but turns into a four-lane section immediately after the end of the Autobahn triangle in the south. An extension of this section by one additional lane in each direction is entered in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan as an urgent requirement and is currently in the planning approval process. The carriageway of Autobahn 46 is also expanded to six lanes until shortly before the cross, until it splits into it.
The motorway triangle was designed as a makeshift left-hand trumpet , with the ear in the southeast quadrant. The autobahn triangle is very large, since between the connecting ramps A 57 Cologne – A 46 Wuppertal and A 46 Wuppertal – A 57 Krefeld very large areas have been kept free compared to the rest of the triangle. This can be explained by the fact that it was originally intended to be a motorway junction in the shape of a clover , as the A 46 was originally intended to be routed south through Neuss . This can also be seen from the fact that the ear of the trumpet, like the ear of a clover leaf, only joins the main road very late after the motorway that joins the triangle has been crossed. Since these plans were rejected, the A 46 runs between Neuss-Süd and Neuss-West on the A 57 .
Traffic volume
The cross was used by around 120,000 vehicles every day in 2015.
