The federal autobahn 560 (abbreviation: BAB 560 ) - short form: autobahn 560 (abbreviation: A 560 ) - also called "Siegtal autobahn" - runs from the autobahn triangle Sankt Augustin-West past Siegburg , crosses the A 3 at the junction Bonn / Siegburg , leads to Hennef (Sieg) and joins the B 8 about one kilometer after the Hennef (Sieg) -Ost junction . The part of the motorway from the Sankt Augustin-West triangle to the Bonn / Siegburg junction is located in the city of Sankt Augustin , the remaining part in the Hennef area. Most of the Bonn / Siegburg cross is located in Sankt Augustin, only a small part of the cross belongs to Hennef.

Building history

The approximately 13 km long route was realized in several construction phases:

The 2 km long section from the Sankt Augustin-West motorway triangle ( A 59 ) to the Siegburg junction (then called Sankt Augustin-Zentrum junction , later Sankt Augustin ) was opened to traffic in 1974.

The 3.5 km long section from the Siegburg junction to Niederpleis to the old route of the L 121 was opened in 1981.

The 4 km long section from the Hennef (Sieg) -West junction to the final eastern end of the A 560 was opened to traffic in 1986, so that the parts of the A 560 that had been completed by then had a gap from Niederpleis to Hennef.

The 0.5 km long section from the old to the new course of the L 121 ( Niederpleis junction ) followed in 1987.

The 1 km long section from the Niederpleis junction to the Bonn / Siegburg motorway junction ( A 3 ), including the junction itself, was opened to traffic in 1988.

The last, 2 km long section from the Bonn / Siegburg motorway junction to the Hennef (Sieg) -West junction was opened in 1990, closing the gap.

The section of the A 560 in Hennef ( Siegbrücken ) was originally part of the abandoned planning of the A 31 from Emden to Bad Neuenahr .

On October 30, 2009, the names of the two junction points 2 and 3 were swapped. Since then, junction 2 is called Siegburg and junction 3 is called Sankt Augustin ;
