particularities
The new Ebensfeld – Erfurt line bridges the eastern part of the motorway junction and both motorways, through the Geratalbrücke Ichtershausen , before it runs partially parallel to the A 71 in the direction of Coburg . The bridge structure has existed since 2000, when it was built in the course of the new construction of the A 71 and the motorway junction. Commissioning took place in December 2017.
Due to the crossing angle of the two highways, the clover-leaf shape of the cross is slightly modified.
