history

The Nossen junction was opened in 1971 with the completion of the motorway to Leipzig. After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the building was given the uniform designation throughout Germany as the Autobahn triangle. The last major renovations were carried out by 1999 in connection with the six-lane expansion of the A 4 and the relocation of the Triebisch valleys.

Design and state of development

The triangle was laid out as a left-handed trumpet. The triangle at the Chemnitz ramp in the direction of Leipzig has a special structural feature. Instead of a joint guided tour with the Leipzig – Dresden ramp, the route is guided through two additional tunnels under the A 4 and the direct connecting ramp between Dresden and Leipzig. Both ramps connect a few meters further to the A 14 lane in the direction of Leipzig. State road  36 is spanned by two bridges.

The A 4 has six lanes in this area, the A 14 four lanes. The crossings of the A 14 from and to Dresden are two-lane, those to and from Chemnitz are single-lane.

Traffic volume

The triangle is used by around 93,000 vehicles every day.
