The Meerbusch motorway junction (abbreviation: AK Meerbusch ; short form: Meerbusch cross ; formerly: Strümp motorway 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 57 ( Trans-Niederrhein-Magistrale ; E 31 ).

geography

The motorway junction is in the urban area of Meerbusch in the Rhine district of Neuss . The closest districts are Ossum-Bösinghoven , Strümp and Osterath , all in the Meerbusch area. It is located about 20 km northeast of Mönchengladbach , about 12 km northwest of Düsseldorf and about 5 km south of Krefeld .

The Meerbusch motorway junction has junction number 27 on the A 44 and number 15 on the A 57.

history

The cross was built in 1976, although it was already planned that the A 44 in the east direction would later be extended beyond the Lank-Latum junction. It then took more than 25 years until the Ilverich Rhine crossing with the airport bridge was completed and opened to traffic.

Until the gap on the A 44 was closed, the cross was called 'Autobahnkreuz Strümp'. Occasionally the term is still used today.

Design and state of development

Both motorways have four lanes. All connecting ramps are single-track.

The motorway junction was laid out as a clover leaf .
