Course of the road
|
The federal highway 253 (abbreviation: B 253 ) is a German federal highway with a length of about 124 km. It runs in the north and west of Hesse from Melsungen via Fritzlar , Frankenberg (Eder) and Biedenkopf to Dillenburg .
At Bad Wildungen it shares the path with the B 485 , between Allendorf (Eder) and Battenberg with the B 236 and between Biedenkopf and Breidenstein with the B 62 .
Section Biedenkopf-Frankenberg ("bagpipe")
The section between Biedenkopf and Frankenberg is also known as the “ bagpipe ” because of the distance to the nearby mountain . Extensive expansion work took place in this area from 2012 to November 2016. For this purpose, the route was completely closed for nine months. In the area between Biedenkopf- Ludwigshütte and Hatzfeld - Eifa , a 2.7 km long section was provided with a third lane. In addition, the tight curves and steep inclines have been defused. This improves the navigability of the connection, especially in winter. For this purpose, three bridges were built and around 130,000 cubic meters of soil were moved. The construction work cost the federal government 13.5 million euros; Expenses of 9.78 million euros were planned for the work.
Planning
Hessen Mobil is planning a bypass for Breidenbach . The first section has already been completed as K 107.
