The Potsdam motorway triangle (abbreviation: AD Potsdam ; short form: Dreieck Potsdam ) is a motorway triangle in Brandenburg in the metropolitan region of Berlin . It connects the Bundesautobahn 10 ( Berliner Ring ) with the Bundesautobahn 9 ( Berlin - Leipzig - Munich ), which starts here.
geography
The triangle is located in the municipality of Schwielowsee in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district . The surrounding towns and communities are Beelitz , Werder (Havel) and Seddiner See . It is located about 45 km southwest of downtown Berlin, about 15 km southwest of Potsdam and about 115 km north of Leipzig.
The closest nature parks are Nuthe-Nieplitz and Hoher Fläming .
The Potsdam motorway triangle has junction number 1 on the A 9 and number 19 on the A 10.
Design and state of development
The A 9 has six lanes in this area. The A 10 has six lanes to the west as far as the Werder motorway triangle and seven lanes to the east, with four lanes to the east. All connection ramps are designed with two stripes.
The motorway triangle was laid out as a complete triangle in full-Y shape.
The main route leads in one swing to the southwest and connects the A 10 coming from the east with the A 9 running south.
history
In 1937, the motorway triangle was opened to traffic in the course of the Berliner Ring . Thus there was now a completely completed Reichsautobahn route from Hanover to Michendorf. The construction of the motorway triangle is likely to have been completed by this time. In the course of 1938, the route from here via Dessau to the Schkeuditzer Kreuz (in the course of today's A 9 ) was released so that it was now possible to drive continuously on the autobahn to Munich. The triangle has only been called Dreieck Potsdam since 1990 . Previously, people spoke of the Leipzig branch or, in later GDR times, of the Leipzig branch ; it was part of the transit route between Berlin (West) and the border crossings Helmstedt / Marienborn , Wartha / Herleshausen and Rudolphstein / Hirschberg . The triangle has only had its current shape since the mid-1990s. Previously this was a left-hand trumpet, with the continuous strand going from Berlin to Leipzig.
Traffic volume
The triangle is used by around 113,000 vehicles every day, making it one of the busiest in Brandenburg.
