The Düsseldorf-Nord motorway junction (abbreviation: AK Düsseldorf-Nord ; short form: Düsseldorf-Nord junction ) is a motorway junction in North Rhine-Westphalia in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region . It connects the federal highway 44 ( Aachen - Kassel ) with the federal highway 52 ( Mönchengladbach - Marl ). It shares this property with the Neersen motorway junction . Originally the federal motorway 59 ( Dinslaken - Bonn ) was supposed to cross those two motorways in it.

geography

The motorway junction consists of two parts, a north part and a south part. This is due to the limited space as it is in an urban location. The northern part lies in the area of ​​the Düsseldorf districts Lichtenbroich and Lohausen and the southern part in the urban area of Ratingen . The closest districts are Rath , Lichtenbroich and Lohausen in the Düsseldorf area, as well as Ratingen-West . It is located about 8 km north of Düsseldorf city center, about 25 km southwest of Essen and about 15 km south of Duisburg .

Düsseldorf Airport is located near the intersection and can be reached via the A 44 in the direction of Mönchengladbach .

The Düsseldorf-Nord motorway junction has junction number 32 on the A 44 and number 22 on the A 52.

Design and state of development

The A 44 has four lanes in the area of ​​the cross and to the east, and six lanes to the west. The A 52 has six lanes. The connecting ramps are two-lane in the northern part and single-lane in the southern part. Both parts were laid out as motorway triangles; the northern part as a pear and the southern part as a right-hand trumpet .

In addition, the A52 in the cross has the peculiarity that the two neighboring junctions 21 Düsseldorf-Rath and 23 Ratingen are integrated into the cross, so that it has a triple junction there , which in turn is analogous to the two-part cross made up of the two double junctions AS ( 21) Düsseldorf-Rath / AK (22) Düsseldorf-Nord (southern part) and AK (22) Düsseldorf-Nord (northern part) / AS (23) Ratingen exists. The distances between these junctions and the cross are so small that they have separate departure ramps from the connecting ramps from the A 44.

Traffic volume

The cross was used by around 122,000 vehicles every day in 2015.
