The Wolfsburg / Königslutter motorway junction has junction number 58 on the A 2 and number 28 on the A 39.
history
The motorway junction was completed in 1982 as a preliminary construction work as a complete clover leaf, but only half of it ("half clover leaf") was used. In the 2000s it was converted into a temporary right-hand trumpet . In the course of closing the gap on the A 39 to Braunschweig, the motorway junction was rebuilt again. The conversion was necessary because the gap closing the through traffic from Frankfurt am Main or Kassel to Berlin or Poland shifted from the federal motorway 391 to the A 39 and thus a more efficient intersection was required. The conversion included the dismantling of the temporary direct ramp from the A 2 from Hanover to the A 39 to Wolfsburg, the new traffic routing on the ramps that were already in place and the extension of the acceleration lanes . Construction work was completed on December 11, 2008.
Design and state of development
The A 39 has four lanes in both directions. The A2 has six lanes. With the exception of the direct connecting ramp A 39 south-A 2 east (two-lane), all ramps are single-lane.
The cross was laid out as a shamrock .
Traffic volume
The cross is used by around 105,000 vehicles every day.
