Load ring
The totality of four main connecting roads in the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital Düsseldorf , which at the same time represent the border between the inner and outer parts of the city, is called the load ring . The four streets involved are the B 7 in the north, the B 8 in the east, the B 326 in the south and the B 1 in the west.
Bundesstrasse 7
The B 7 is the extension of the A 52 from the west. After exit 14 ( Büderich ), the motorway ends on the left bank of the Rhine and seamlessly turns into a motor vehicle . After about 1500 m, the three-lane road forks in each direction at the Heerdter Dreieck into two feeder roads. The southern one leads through the Rheinalleetunnel over the Rheinkniebrücke into the city center , but also enables the change to the Rheinufertunnel (B 1) belonging to the Lastring , the northern one continues as the B 7 via the junction- free Seestern road to the Theodor-Heuss-Brücke , behind the There is a connection to the B 1 (to the south) and B 8 (to the north) at the large Nordfriedhof intersection , as well as to the city center via Roßstrasse.
The part of the B 7 that belongs to the load ring also begins at the north cemetery. The B 7 continues as the six-lane Johannstraße and carries the traffic load of two other federal highways (B 1 and B 8) to the Mörsenbroicher Ei junction , the north-east intersection of the load ring.
After 600 m, Johannstraße crosses with Ulmenstraße (L 56, further south on Prinz-Georg-Straße ), which runs through large parts of the city center and parts of the city close to the center. After the intersection, it continues as Heinrich-Erhardt-Straße, which after about 400 m intersects with Rather Straße (which runs parallel to Ulmenstraße to the south). After a further 400 m, there is a connection to Toulouser Allee , which is intended to relieve the heavily used load ring and other main traffic arteries running parallel to it. With the help of three ramps, the traffic lights in the main direction are not disrupted. After 170 m the Mercedesstraße joins the northern Lastring, which continues as Grashofstraße.
The Grashofstraße is connected by flyover to the northern feeder (B 1), the continuation of the A 52 in a north-easterly direction. Shortly after that, the Mörsenbroicher Ei, which connects to Münsterstrasse (K 2), Brehmstrasse (eastern Lastring; B 8), Heinrichstrasse (B 7), Mörsenbroicher Weg (K 7) and Sankt-Franziskus-Strasse (L 455) is probably the largest traffic junction in North Rhine-Westphalia, reaching the northeast corner of the load ring.
Bundesstrasse 8
The busy, four-lane Brehmstraße picks up a large part of the traffic around the Mörsenbroicher Ei or gives it off. At 6 km, the B 8 is the longest, continuously drivable, inner-city road link in Düsseldorf and is the most heavily used section of the load ring because it is largely the only eastern connecting road. At Brehmplatz, after a length of 1.3 km, it merges into the 800 m long Lindemannstraße, which boasts a historic tree population in the first half. At the intersection with Grafenberger Allee, which also delimits the districts of Düsseltal and Flingern-Nord , it is called Dorotheenstraße for 800 m, whereupon it continues as Kettwiger Straße for 500 m and then as Werdener Straße for 650 m.
It then crosses with Kölner Strasse (also Kölner Landstrasse). The square around the intersection is called Oberbilker Markt and represents the center of the district of the same name. The B 8 retains the new name Kruppstraße for 1 km to the railway overpass at Volksgarten, whereupon it is called Auf'm Hennekamp for 1.2 km. After almost 900 m, the eastern load ring ends at the intersection with Mecumstrasse (L 52).
Bundesstrasse 326
Those who follow the course of the road are automatically on the southern load ring, the B 326, which intersects with a total of 5 busy roads or junctions in the next 1000 m. For a short distance of 300 m it is led as Kopernikusstraße, behind it as a continuous south ring with at least three lanes in each direction . Völklinger Straße (B 1) rises after 1.5 km.
Bundesstrasse 1
The straight Völklinger Straße, which has two to four lanes in each direction, crosses after 670 m with the Fährstraße, which connects the Hamm district. 130 m on, an overflying bridge enables the crossing-free turn into Plockstrasse, which connects the Medienhafen and numerous state authorities. A further 200 m is followed by a tunnel that passes under Gladbacher Strasse and reappears after 270 m, where it intersects with access roads to parking lots and office buildings. Then it goes into the almost 2 km long Rheinufertunnel, which enables a direct connection to the Medienhafen, the Rheinkniebrücke , the old town , a parking garage and shortly after reappearing also to the Oberkasseler Brücke . In this tunnel, the B1 crosses under the Düsseldorf government district and the Rhine promenade .
The B 1 will be continued as Joseph-Beuys-Ufer, as the route is only 60 m away from the banks of the Rhine. It leads past the Tonhalle , the Fischmarkt, the NRW-Forum , the Park Rheingärtchen , the Ehrenhof , the Museum Kunstpalast as well as the Rheinterrasse and the Victoriaplatz, before it continues after 700 m as Cecilienallee at the seat of the district government and the higher regional court of Düsseldorf . After 600 m the street makes a right turn and is called Homberger Straße for a short distance of 200 m, while the Cecilienallee straight ahead accompanies the Rheinpark Golzheim am Rheinufer.
Behind the junction with Fischerstrasse, a six-lane main road into the city center, it is marked as a motor road for 1 km under the street name Kennedydamm . At the Nordfriedhof it crosses in a high-flyer with the B 7. It continues as Danziger Straße (B 8) along the airport towards Duisburg.
