State of development

The E 233 begins in the Netherlands as a four-lane motorway ( A 37 ); Since the beginning of 2008 it has been upgraded to the A 37 along its entire length in the Netherlands, and since 2009 it has been expanded and has traffic.

In Germany it runs as a four-lane federal road from the border crossing in Twist-Hebelermeer to the Meppen junction on the A 31 . The 7.5 km long section was released on July 11, 2007. The further course to the bypass of Cloppenburg is two-lane. The Cloppenburg bypass has been expanded to four lanes over a length of around 7 km from Cloppenburg-Stapelfeld to Cloppenburg-Bethen. The rest of the way to Autobahn 1 has two lanes. The remaining two-lane route of the E 233 from AS Meppen to the A 1 has been included in the "further requirement" of the federal traffic route plan for four-lane expansion.

A bypass for the village of Lastrup has been built since autumn 2007. It has three lanes in a 2-to-1 system and has been approved since December 2009. In March 2009, the Bentheim-Emsland-Osnabrück County Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) and the Oldenburg Chamber of Commerce launched a sponsorship campaign through which local companies can contribute to the planning costs of the expansion in order to accelerate implementation .

The plan approval procedure for the eight expansion stages of the E 233 from the Meppen junction (A 31) to the Cloppenburg junction (A 1) should begin in 2012 . The inclusion in the "Urgent Need" in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 gave the plans public and financial support. In mid-2017, seen notes were available for four planning sections, with which the planning approval procedures for these routes could begin. The year 2030 is currently planned for full completion.

history

The Haselünne – Cloppenburg section was part of the historic Flemish Road , which was first mentioned around 1425 as a trade route between Lübeck and Bruges .

In the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 , the expansion of the road is listed as an “urgent need”. The planned costs for the expansion amount to 719.1 million euros.
