Course of the road
|
The main road 1 is a main road in Switzerland . It connects the region around Lake Geneva with that of Lake Constance .
The H1 begins in Perly-Certoux in the canton of Geneva on the border with France and runs via Geneva and along Lake Geneva to Lausanne . The main road between Lausanne and Payerne is very well developed and largely free of intersections. For the first 10 kilometers from Lausanne, it has four lanes that run to the top of the Le Chalet-à-Gobet pass. After that it is mainly three-lane to Payerne, so it is a two-way three-lane road . The road then leads to Lake Murten in Murten . It runs from Murten to Bern , on this section the terrain is hilly. Through the Mittelland via Langenthal and Oftringen , where the road crosses with the H2 , the road to Lenzburg is almost always two-lane. From there the road leads via Wohlen , Bremgarten and Urdorf to Zurich- Hardbrücke and Winterthur . From there the road runs to Frauenfeld and over the ridge of Lake Constance to Kreuzlingen in the canton of Thurgau and ends at the Emmishofer Tor border crossing on the German border in front of the city of Konstanz .
The route is mostly non-directional apart from about 10 km long four-lane sections northwest of Geneva and northwest of Lausanne. The total length of this thoroughfare is around 345 kilometers.
history
This road connects the capitals of the largest and most populous Swiss cantons. Its route is based on the power politics of Bern in the 18th century, when this route should run as far as possible over the territory of the canton of Bern. In 1706, the Bern government had the “beautiful” road from Lenzburg via Suhr and Kölliken to Murgenthal and Bern built , “to no small disadvantage for the city of Aarau ” .
From 1740 the main streets of Berne on the French model became roads expanded.
