The European route 34 (E 34 for short) is a 489 km long European route that runs from the North Sea coast to the east through Belgium and the Netherlands to Bad Oeynhausen in Germany. At Bad Oeynhausen, the E34 is connected to Europastraße 30 , one of the most important east-west connections in Europe.
course
Until the 1990s, the section between Antwerp and Knokke-Heist ( N49 ) was not yet a motorway and was very unattractive to drive due to the many traffic lights and the 90 km / h speed limit. Currently, about half of the route has been developed as a motorway ( A11 ). The remaining part of the N49 is still to be expanded into a motorway.
From Antwerp, the E34 runs together with the Antwerp ring road ( R1 ) to the Antwerp-East junction . From there it runs for about 4 km together with the A13 to the Ranst junction , from where it then runs together with the A21 to the Dutch border. In the Netherlands it then leads past Eindhoven and Venlo as the A67 .
In Germany, the route continues from the Straelen border crossing to Kreuz Kaiserberg ( Duisburg , A40 ), from where it continues along with the A3 to Kreuz Oberhausen . The E 34 crosses the E 31 at Moers and runs from Duisburg to Oberhausen together with the E 35 on the route of the Autobahn 3. At the Oberhausen junction, the paths separate again, from here the E 34 runs on the A 2. At Kamen crosses the E 37, which runs on the route of the A 1; The E 34 ends at Bad Oeynhausen and is swallowed up by the E 30 coming from the A 30 / B 61.
