Würzburg-West motorway triangle from the air

The Würzburg-West motorway triangle (abbreviation: AD Würzburg-West ; short form Dreieck Würzburg-West ) is a motorway triangle in Bavaria, southwest of Würzburg . This is where the federal motorway 81 (Würzburg - Stuttgart - Singen (Hohentwiel) ) begins by branching off from the federal motorway 3 ( Oberhausen - Frankfurt am Main - Passau ).

geography

The motorway triangle is located in the district of Eisingen and the community-free area Irtenberger Wald , which is partially designated as an FFH area together with Guttenberger Wald , in the district of Würzburg . The surrounding communities are Kist , Altertheim and Waldbrunn . It is located about 10 km southwest of downtown Würzburg and about 80 km northeast of Heilbronn .

The motorway junction is located at 303–306 m above sea ​​level in a forest area.

The closest federal road is the B 27 , which crosses the A 3 at the Kist junction and the A 81 at the Gerchsheim junction. The triangle is also on Europastraße 41 and is also the beginning of the E 43 .

It is junction number 68 on the A 3 and junction number 1 on the A 81.

history

On October 27, 1961, the section of the newly built A3 from Rohrbrunn to Würzburg-West was released. When Autobahn 81 was built in the 1970s, a connection to the A3 had to be built.

The Würzburg-West triangle is designed as an incomplete Maltese cross , as it was initially planned as a motorway junction. To the north, an extension of the A 81 for the northern bypass of Würzburg to the A 7 was planned, but this was never built.

With the plans for the new western bypass of Würzburg, the federal highway 26n , a connection of the B 26n to the triangle Würzburg-West was planned. The route was then to lead partially through a tunnel between the communities of Eisingen and Waldbrunn. In the plans published by the Würzburg State Building Authority at the beginning of 2010, however, the Helmstadt junction is intended as the start of the B 26n.

Traffic volume

The Würzburg-West triangle was crossed by around 92,000 vehicles every day in 2015.
