| The A 13 at the Spreewald triangle | |
The Spreewald motorway triangle (abbreviation: AD Spreewald ; short form: Spreewald triangle ) is a motorway triangle in Brandenburg , which is located near Lübbenau / Spreewald . It connects the federal highway 13 ( Berlin - Dresden ) with the federal highway 15 (Lübbenau / Spreewald - Forst (Lausitz) ).
geography
The triangle lies in the urban area of Lübbenau in the suburbs of Groß Beuchow , Groß Klessow and Kittlitz in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district . The surrounding towns and communities are Lübben , Vetschau / Spreewald , Calau and Luckau . The closest districts are Klein Beuchow in the north, Klein Klessow in the east, Eisdorf in the south and Groß Beuchow in the west. It is located about 85 km southeast of downtown Berlin, about 70 km southwest of Frankfurt (Oder) and about 30 km northwest of Cottbus .
The closest are the Niederlausitzer Landücken nature park and the Spreewald biosphere reserve .
The Spreewald motorway triangle has junction number 10 on the A 13 and number 1 on the A 15.
history
The triangle has existed since 1962. Until then, traffic to and from Berlin was carried over the ramps in two-way traffic (the bridge over the A 15 was missing). Until the fall of the Berlin Wall it was called the Cottbus branch and was only connected to today's A 13 on the south side. The oncoming traffic used the same lane of the motorway.
Originally, all of the ramps in the triangle had two lanes. However, the acceleration lane of the Dresden – Berlin ramp overlapped with the deceleration lane of the Lübbenau junction directly behind it, so that a very unusual traffic route developed in this area. As a result, most connections were restricted to one lane.
Design and state of development
Both motorways have four lanes in this area. The Berlin-Dresden ramp is two-lane, as the A 13, if you don't leave the main route, becomes the A 15 ( TOTSO ). The remaining ramps are single-lane.
The triangle was laid out as a left-handed trumpet.
The longer crossing connects the A 13 coming from the north with the A 15 running east, and the shorter crossing connects the A 15 running west with the A 13 running north.
Traffic volume
The triangle is used by around 45,000 vehicles every day.
