The federal autobahn 90 (abbreviation: BAB 90 ) - short form: autobahn 90 (abbreviation: A 90 ) - was a planned autobahn that would branch off the A 91 in the area northeast of Augsburg near Aichach and pass via Pfaffenhofen , Holledau (intersection with the A 9 ), Mainburg should lead to Saalhaupt (triangle with the A 93 ).

Planning history and construction

In the Weimar Republic , a connection between Regensburg - Wolnzach - Augsburg was not included in the plan for the so-called "top network" . The Hof (Saale) - Weiden - Regensburg - Landshut - Munich line was only included as a supplementary route .

Although the planning and work for the Reichsautobahn connection Regensburg - Dreieck Holledau began early under the rule of the National Socialists, the line Regensburg - Wolnzach - Augsburg was not included in the network plans until 1938. By the end of work in World War II, the section between Holledau and Elsendorf was largely completed in the earthworks and bridge construction. On the other hand, on the stretch between Elsendorf and Regensburg, only around 50% of the bridge construction work and around 20% of the earthworks were carried out.

However, after the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany, this preparatory work enabled the rapid completion of two sections: in 1954 the section Dreieck Holledau - Mainburg and in 1958 the section Mainburg - Elsendorf was completed as a single lane.

The expansion plan for the federal highways of the law of July 27, 1957 did not provide for a motorway connection from Regensburg via Wolnzach to Augsburg. Only the B 16 / B 301 between Regensburg and Holledau and the B 300 between Langenbruck and Dasing (A 8) were included in the blue network of federal highways to be expanded and newly built.

Nevertheless, the former Reichsautobahn plan between Mainburg and Regensburg could be found in maps until 1966, according to which a motorway junction south of Regensburg near Oberisling with the route Nuremberg - Passau from Regensburg was intended. With the planning of the expansion and new construction of the B 15 between Hof, Weiden and Regensburg, a western bypass of Regensburg was realized in 1967. This was followed by the planning of the route from Regensburg to Mainburg. The extension of the route from the Holledau triangle to Augsburg was not on the maps until 1970.

This changed with the requirement plan of the law on the expansion of federal highways in the years 1971 to 1985 from June 30, 1971. Under the internal name "Autobahn 88", this contained a connection from Weiden via Pfreimd , Schwandorf , Regensburg, Wolnzach, Schrobenhausen in the area south of Augsburg with a connection to the motorway-like B 17n Augsburg - Landsberg am Lech . Different levels of urgency were set for the realization of the route later known as the A 90, namely:

section	expansion	Urgency level	Change for the period 1971–1985
AD Saalhaupt - AS Elsendorf		(1st lane in urgency level I, 2nd lane in urgency level III)	1st lane in urgency level Ia, 2nd lane possible additional demand
AS Elsendorf (B 301) - AS Mainburg	2nd lane	III	Urgency level Ib
AS Wolnzach - AD Holledau	2nd lane	III	Urgency level Ib
AD Holledau - southwest of Schrobenhausen near Autenzell	four-lane	III	possible further need
southwest Schrobenhausen near Autenzell - east Kühbach		1st lane in urgency level I, 2nd lane in urgency level III	1st lane in urgency level Ia, 2nd lane possible additional demand
east of Kühbach - south of Augsburg	four-lane	Urgency level III	possible further need

With the restructuring of the network of federal motorways, which was introduced with effect from January 1, 1975, the line triangle Saalhaupt - Kreuz Holledau - southwest Aichach received the new designation "Federal Motorway 90". The route was modified near Aichach. The A 90 was - in contrast to the A 88 - planned after Zahling , where it was to merge with the A 91 Dinkelsbühl - Donauwörth - Landsberg / Lech, which was intended as an eastern bypass of Augsburg. The Hof - Regensburg - Saalhaupt - Landshut - Rosenheim - Kufstein route was designated as the A 93. Nothing changed here in 1976. In the requirement plan of the law amending the law on the expansion of federal highways in the years 1971 to 1985 of August 5, 1976, the levels of urgency changed only slightly.

This meant that large parts of the sections of the A 88 that were later renamed the A 90 were classified as having the lowest priority. The planning between the Holledau and Augsburg triangle envisaged the following route of the A 88:

• north of Walkersbach
• north of Förnbach and Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm
• south of Englmannsberg
• south of Oberlauterbach
• south of Aresing
• north of Autenzell
• north of Gachenbach
• northwest of Rapperzell
• south of Oberwittelsbach
• south of Aichach
• south of Aichach-Sulzbach
• west of Dasing -Laimering (cross with the A 8 east of AS Dasing)
• east of Friedberg-Harthausen
• west of Rinnenthal
• east of Ottmaring
• southeast Kissing
• north of Mering
• Triangle with the B 17n near Oberottmarshausen

In the requirements plan of the second law amending the law on the expansion of federal highways from 1971 to 1985 from August 25, 1980, the line AD Saalhaupt to AD Holledau was still included as A 90. However, the connection AD Holledau - Aichach - Zahling was canceled. The eastern bypass of Augsburg was now planned as a four-lane B 2n. Instead of the new construction of the A 90, the expansion and rebuilding of the B 300 between Pörnbach and Aichach was partly planned. The Regensburg-Süd - Abensberg route was included as an ongoing project and the Abensberg - Elsendorf section was included in urgency level I.

With the requirement plan of the Third Act to amend the Act on the Extension of Federal Highways of April 21, 1986, the end of the A 90 came. The section between Regensburg and the Holledau triangle was now part of the A 93. Between Langenbruck and Augsburg only remained the following measures in the requirement plan:

Short name	section	expansion	Urgency level
B 300	OU Pörnbach	two-lane	ongoing project
B 300	Expansion west of Schrobenhausen	two-lane	further need
B 300	OU Dasing	two-lane	further need
B 300	OU Friedberg (Bavaria)	two-lane	further demand [with connection to the east bypass Augsburg (B 2n, four lanes, further demand)]

• B 300: OU Pörnbach (two-lane, ongoing project)
• B 300: expansion west of Schrobenhausen (two lanes, further needs)
• B 300: OU Dasing (two-line, additional requirement)
• B 300: OU Friedberg (Bavaria) (two lanes, further needs) with connection to the Augsburg bypass (B 2n, four lanes, further needs)

In the requirements plan of the Fourth Law on the Amendment of the Highway Extension Act of November 15, 1993, the A 90 was still deleted. The extension and construction of the Langenbruck - Augsburg line was also carried out:

Short name	section	expansion	Urgency level	Changes in the fifth law
B 300	OU Hohenwart- Weichenried	two-lane	urgent need
B 300	OU Gachenbach -Peutenhausen	two-lane	urgent need
B 300	Kühbach - Aichach	four-lane expansion	further need
B 300	Aichach - A 8	four-lane	urgent need
B 300	OU Dasing	two-lane	urgent need	later ongoing project
B 300	OU Friedberg	two-lane	urgent need	later further requirements with planning rights
B 2	Augsburg bypass to the east	four-lane	further need

The requirements plan of the Fifth Act to Change the Highway Extension Act of October 4, 2004 did not result in a resumption of the A 90. The expansion and construction of the Langenbruck - Augsburg line was also planned.

List of traffic clearances

The individual sections of the route, originally dedicated to the Federal Motorway 90 and now known as the Federal Motorway 93, were opened to traffic as follows:

• 1954: AS Mainburg - AD Holledau (1st lane, 11.0 km)
• 1958: AS Elsendorf - AS Mainburg (1st lane, 13.0 km)
• 1976: AS Mainburg - AD Holledau (2nd lane, 11.0 km)
• 1979: AS Elsendorf - AS Mainburg (2nd lane, 13.0 km)
• 1984: AS Regensburg-Süd - AS Abensberg (four lanes, 24.2 km; the section AD Saalhaupt - AS Abensberg as part of the A 90 approx. 13 km)
