course

In Lorch there is a connection to the B 29 , in Göppingen to the federal highway 10 , in Kirchheim to the federal highway 8 . After Pliezhausen, the B 297 joins the four-lane B 27 , which continues to Tübingen .

history

The general traffic plan from 1965 provided for the section between Remstal and Filstal to be completely rebuilt on a route further to the east, while maintaining the two-lane expansion status. The route should begin with a free junction on the new B 29 between Lorch and Schwäbisch Gmünd, lead through the Beutental past Wäschenbeuren, and join the new B 10 east of Göppingen. These plans were abandoned with considerations of landscape protection. A realignment was also planned between Göppingen and Kirchheim, which was not implemented. The main road, together with the B 298 , was to become part of a north-south connection between the A 6 and the A 8.

On the Lorch – Göppingen section, according to official counts, since the introduction of the truck toll on federal motorways in 2005, the number of daily journeys by heavy trucks has increased from 690 to 812. According to the municipality of Wäschenbeuren, more than 1,110 trucks were counted per day, although it is unclear here whether only toll trucks or all trucks were counted.

At Lorch, the route ran only a few hundred meters until July 2008, but with a large difference in altitude, past the existing junction of the B 29 , but then through the village, so that a distance of about 3 km had to be covered to the B 29. A direct connection to the existing junction of the B 29 was built here, which shortened this route to around 1 km and made the passage through Lorch unnecessary. The old road has since been dismantled. The cost of these measures is around six million euros. Three bridges and an elaborate slope protection against slipping, which was necessary because of the marl, increased costs .
