The new federal highway 131 (abbreviation: B 131n ) is planned as a German federal highway in Bavaria .

course

The new federal highway 131 is to represent the connection between the A 7 near Dinkelsbühl and the A 9 near Greding in the final stage . It should run through the Altmühltal Nature Park . At Gunzenhausen , the route is to connect to the previous B 13 to Ellingen, which has been upgraded with appropriate bypasses .

history

The idea of ​​this road connection arose in 2000 to improve the development of the Franconian Lake District in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district , a district without a motorway connection.

In 2005, the Franconian area at the Supreme Building Authority in the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior applied for a traffic analysis for the further section from the A 7 near Dinkelsbühl to Gunzenhausen as well as an environmental impact study for the Gunzenhausen-Greding section. Both applications were rejected by the federal government on the grounds that the results of the investigations would be out of date by the time the construction project was actually implemented. In November 2006, however, it was decided to carry out the environmental impact study and thus to define the route in more detail.

Status of planning

The section from the B 13 near Gunzenhausen to the A 9 motorway near Greding was included in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2003 as a road of “additional demand”. In the draft of the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030, it is classified as “further needs with planning rights”. In 2016, the federal road was downgraded to the lowest level in the federal traffic route plan, which has made it unlikely to be implemented in the long term.

For the 29.8 km long section of the B 13 or B 131n from Unterasbach to Thalmässing , a traffic density of 4,000 vehicles per day is predicted for 2015. The construction costs of this route are estimated at 46 million euros . The 20 km long section of the B 131n from Ellingen-Höttingen to the Alfershausen / Thalmässing bypass is expected to cost 30 million euros. In 2015 it will be used by 3,000 vehicles every day.

While the state of Bavaria has registered the construction of the B 131n for the 2015 Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan, various committees see no chance of its implementation. The local economic committees such as the IHK in the districts of Roth and Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen see it the same way and call for a moderate expansion of the existing roads via the state road budget. In addition, the committees propose an improved alignment of the B 13.
