Design and state of development
The cross is laid out as a clover leaf with a so-called tangent solution. If you pass the cross coming from Bonn (A 565) and want to drive on the A 61 in the direction of Koblenz, you must first drive on a direct ramp under the A 565 and then over the A 61 before continuing on the A 61 can.
