History / other

The federal highway 499 was set up on January 1st, 1967 to improve the network of federal highways. However, it was only a short cross-connection. Originally the B 499 ran from Wettringen to Burgsteinfurt. In 2005 a five kilometer long cycle path was built from Neuenkirchen to the Wettringen intersection to ensure the safety of school children in particular. In December 2013 the B 70 was completed as a bypass of Wettringen and the B 499 began at the B 70 roundabout in Neuenkirchen. This roundabout is located in the middle of the Münsterländer gravel belt , which is why the gabions , which form a four-sided N there, are filled with glacial debris.
