The Biebelried motorway junction (abbreviation: AK Biebelried ; short form: Biebelried cross ) is a motorway junction in Bavaria near Würzburg . This is where the two longest motorways in Germany intersect, Federal Motorway 3 ( Oberhausen - Frankfurt am Main - Passau ) and Federal Motorway 7 ( Hamburg - Kassel - Füssen ).

geography

The cross is located in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen , in the area of ​​the municipality of Biebelried , on the edge of the Nuremberg metropolitan region . The surrounding towns and communities are Mainstockheim , Kitzingen , Dettelbach and Rottendorf . It is located about 10 km southeast of Würzburg and 80 km northwest of Nuremberg . It is an important traffic junction as the A 3 ( Netherlands - Austria / Linz ) and the A 7 ( Denmark - Austria / Innsbruck ) intersect here. The federal highways 8 and 22 run in the immediate vicinity .

The Biebelried junction is number 73 on Autobahn 3 and number 102 on A 7.

history

The A3 was opened in this section in 1964. At the same time, the traffic junction was initially built as a motorway triangle and the A 7 that followed north was opened in 1965. With the extension of the A 7 to the south in 1981, the triangle was converted into today's cross. With regard to a western bypass of Würzburg's motorway that was still current at the time , which has since failed due to various resistances, the A 3-West - A 7-North relation was only implemented as an indirect ramp. This bypass would include traffic from the A 81 to the A 7 , A 70 and A 71 and significantly relieve the Biebelried junction. Instead, the B 19 through the city of Würzburg is used today to avoid traffic jams, as a shortcut and to save tolls, especially by trucks.

State of development

The motorway junction is designed as a “clover leaf” with a two-lane, semi-direct connecting ramp from the A 7 from Kassel to the A 3 in the direction of Nuremberg. The connection from Nuremberg to Kassel also has two lanes. In the area of ​​the motorway junction, the A 3 has six lanes and the A 7 has four lanes.

Expansion in 2012

The expansion of the A3 to up to 11 lanes at the level of the motorway junction was completed on October 12, 2012.

Traffic situation

Especially during the holiday season there are frequent traffic jams, as this is where traffic from the Rhine-Main area and northern Germany come together. The threading of the two-lane connecting ramps onto the A3 always proves to be a bottleneck. In 2015, around 104,000 vehicles drove on the cross every day.

The former Biebelried triangle is a popular topic in the joking “Franconian English”, in which East Franconian sentences are written in English terms: “Up'n people reader dry egg war's fry” ( German : “From the Biebelried triangle it was [on the Road] free ”).
