The motorway junction Weinsberg (abbreviation: AK Weinsberg ; short form: Kreuz Weinsberg ; also Weinsberger Kreuz ) is a motorway junction in Baden-Württemberg near Heilbronn . This is where the federal motorway 6 ( Saarbrücken - Mannheim - Nuremberg ) ( European route 50 ) and the federal motorway 81 ( Würzburg - Stuttgart - Singen (Hohentwiel) ) ( European route 41 ) intersect .
geography
The motorway junction is located in the area of the town of Weinsberg in the valley of the Sulm , which had to be relocated for the construction of the cross and has since flowed through the middle of the motorway junction. The surrounding communities are Ellhofen , Eberstadt and Erlenbach . The Weinsberg motorway junction is located about 85 km southwest of Würzburg, about 6 km northeast of Heilbronn and about 45 km north of Stuttgart.
The Weinsberg motorway junction is number 9 on the A 81 and number 38 on the A 6.
Development condition and design
The A 6 is to the west, the A 81 to the south with six lanes. The A 81 to the north and the A 6 to the east with four lanes. The connections from and towards Stuttgart to Mannheim and Würzburg are two-lane, the rest are single-lane. The short transition from Stuttgart to Nuremberg begins with two lanes, but ends with one lane. That is why practically all road users only use it in one lane.
The motorway junction, which is designed as a variant of the cloverleaf shape, was built from 1966 to 1970 in three construction phases. The largest traffic flow between Mannheim and Stuttgart is routed via a south-western double tangent, which was created in the first construction phase. For the Stuttgart – Würzburg and Mannheim– Nuremberg routes , the rest of the motorway junction was then built in two additional construction phases.
Coming from Mannheim and Stuttgart it is a so-called TOTSO .
