The Autobahnkreuz München-Nord (abbreviation: AK München-Nord ; short form: Kreuz München-Nord ) is a motorway intersection in Bavaria in the Munich metropolitan region . It connects the federal highway 9 ( Berlin - Leipzig - Munich ) and the federal highway 99 ( Munich ring road ).
geography
The motorway junction is located in the Bavarian capital of Munich, on the border with Garching . More precisely, it is located in the area of the Fröttmaning desert in Munich's 12 Schwabing-Freimann district .
Immediately at the cross is the Allianz Arena , completed in 2005 , the home stadium of Bayern Munich . Opposite the Allianz Arena is the Fröttmaninger Berg with a striking wind turbine at the motorway junction ( Fröttmaning wind turbine ). The Munich underground line U6 and the Freisinger Landstrasse each run in a north-south direction under the motorway junction.
The cross is located about 10 km north of Munich city center and about 60 km south of Ingolstadt . It is an important traffic junction as it indirectly connects the A 9 with the A 8 , which is interrupted in the urban area of Munich, so that through traffic is diverted via the A 99. The cross also connects the relations Berlin / Poland- Munich / Austria ( Innsbruck ) and Benelux / France- Austria ( Salzburg ).
The Munich-North motorway junction has junction number 72 on the A 9 and number 13 on the A 99.
history
The motorway junction was planned in the 1930s when a direct motorway from Munich to Berlin was being discussed, the later A 9. In 1966, the government of Upper Bavaria commissioned a planning approval procedure, at the end of which in 1969 construction stood.
A citizens' initiative prevented the planned demolition of the Heilig-Kreuz church for the motorway junction ; therefore the motorway junction was moved slightly to the north compared to the originally planned location.
In 2005 and 2006 the cross was expanded as part of the infrastructure expansion for the 2006 World Cup .
Design and state of development
The Munich-North motorway junction is a modified clover leaf that has two semi-direct ramps for traffic from Munich (A 9 south) to Stuttgart (A 99 west) and from Neufahrn (A 9 north) to Salzburg (A 99 east).
The A 9 has eight lanes in this area. The A 99 has four lanes in the intersection area, seven lanes to the east (four lanes in the direction of Salzburg) and in some cases even ten lanes to the west. The connecting ramps have two lanes, with the exception of the direct and indirect ramps in the north-west quadrant and the connection A 9 South - A 99 East, which have only one lane.
Traffic volume
The cross is used by around 240,000 vehicles every day. This makes it the busiest in Bavaria and, after the Frankfurter Kreuz , the Köln-Ost and the Offenbacher Kreuz, the fourth busiest in Germany .
