Bundesautobahn 88 (abbreviation: BAB 88 ) - short form: Autobahn 88 (abbreviation: A 88 ) - was the project name of a planned freeway that was to lead from Langenenslingen via Riedlingen , Biberach , Ochsenhausen to Berkheim north of Memmingen as a relief from the federal highway 312 . Planning was abandoned. Only the first carriageway was completed between Berkheim and the junction of the same name on federal motorway 7 (1975: 3.3 km).

Planning history

The Langenenslingen - Memmingen route was not included in the expansion plan for the so-called "top network" in the Weimar Republic , nor was it included in the network plans of the National Socialists as a new Reichsautobahn construction project.

The expansion plan for the federal highways of the law of July 27, 1957 neither provided for the construction of a federal freeway between Langenenslingen, Biberach and the Memmingen area, nor was the federal road 312 included in the “blue network” of the federal highways that were to be newly developed or expanded.

This changed with the requirements plan of the law on the expansion of federal highways from 1971 to 1985 from June 30, 1971. It now contained the new four-lane building on federal roads 312 and 312n. The following sub-projects were planned:

• B 312n: triangle with the B 32 (later: Bundesautobahn 85 ) near Langenenslingen - Riedlingen (cross with the B 311n , later: Bundesautobahn 86 ) (four lanes, 1st lane in urgency level II, 2nd lane in urgency level III)
• B 312: Riedlingen (B 311 / B 311n) - Biberach an der Riß (cross with the B 30 , later: federal motorway 89 ) (four lanes, 1st lane in urgency level II, 2nd lane in urgency level III)
• B 312n: Biberach an der Riß (B 30) - Berkheim (junction with "Autobahn 24", later: Federal Autobahn 7 ) (four lanes, 1st lane in urgency level I, 2nd lane in urgency level III)
• B 312n: Berkheim - Heimertingen (confluence with old B 19 ) (two lanes , urgency level I)

With the restructuring of the federal motorway network, which was introduced with effect from January 1, 1975, the route between Langenenslingen and Berkheim was combined under the uniform name of "Federal Motorway 88".

The A 88 was still included unchanged in the federal government's network map of January 1, 1976.

The requirement plan of the law amending the law on the expansion of federal highways in the years 1971 to 1985 from August 5, 1976 showed the federal highway 88 unchanged. However, the urgency of the individual sections has been reduced. The following picture emerged:

• Langenenslingen (A 85) - Riedlingen (A 86) - Biberach an der Riss (A 89): possible further needs
• Biberach an der Riss (A 89) - Berkheim: 1st carriageway in urgency level Ib, 2nd carriageway as a possible additional requirement
• Berkheim - A 7: 1st carriageway completed, 2nd carriageway as a possible additional requirement

With the second law amending the law on the expansion of federal highways from 1971 to 1985 from August 25, 1980, the A 88 came to an end. The plans were limited to the construction of new sections and sections of the B 312:

• B 312: OU Riedlingen (two-lane, ongoing project)
• B 312: OU Uttenweiler (two-lane, urgency level I)
• B 312: relocation south of Attenweiler (two-lane, ongoing project)
• B 312: OU Biberach an der Riß (two-lane, urgency level I)
• B 312: Relocation at Biberach-Ringschnait (two-lane, urgency level I)
• B 312: Relocation between east of Ochsenhausen to west of Berkheim (two lanes, urgency level I)
• B 312: Extension between AS Berkheim and B 19 (two-lane, urgency level I)

The third law amending the law on the expansion of the federal highways of April 21, 1986 did not lead to the re-inclusion of the A 88 in the requirement plan. In addition, with regard to the new construction of sections of the B 312 only:

• B 312: OU Uttenweiler (two-lane, urgency level II)
• B 312: Relocation at Biberach-Ringschnait (two-lane, urgency level II)
• B 312: relocation between east of Ochsenhausen to west of Berkheim (two lanes, urgency level II)

The A 88 was still not included in the requirements plan of the Fourth Law on the Amendment of the Highway Expansion Act of November 15, 1993. The expansion and new construction of federal highway 312 had the following projects as its subject:

• B 312: OU Uttenweiler (two-lane, urgency level I)
• B 312: Relocation at Ringschnait (two-lane, urgency level II)
• B 312: OU Ochsenhausen (two-lane, urgency level II)
• B 312: OU Edenbachen (two-lane, urgency level II)
• B 312: Extension between AS Berkheim and B 19 (two-lane, urgency level I)

The requirements plan of the Fifth Act on the Amendment of the Highway Expansion Act of October 4, 2004 did not result in any new entries with regard to the A 88. Furthermore, the extension and construction of the federal highway 312 was undertaken:

• B 312: OU Uttenweiler (two-lane, priority requirement)
• B 312: OU Biberach an der Riß (two-lane, further need with identified high ecological risk)
• B 312: Laying near Biberach-Ringschnait (two-lane, priority requirement with identified high ecological risk)
• B 312: OU Ochsenhausen (two-lane, priority need with identified high ecological risk)
• B 312: OU Edenbachen (two-lane, priority need with identified high ecological risk)
• B 312: Extension between AS Berkheim and B 19 (two-lane, ongoing project)
