MeBo

MeBo between Sigmundskron and Bozen

The MeBo - more rarely also Mebo or MEBO - is a 31.7 kilometer long, motorway-like (it. Superstrada ) section of the Italian Strada Statale 38 dello Stelvio (SS 38). It leads through the Adige Valley from Me ran ( it. Me Rano) to Bo zen (it. Bo lzano).

With the exception of the short end at Lagundo , the route, which has been completely expanded to four lanes, connects the second largest city with the largest in South Tyrol . The expressway, which opened in 1997, runs for almost its entire length on the right bank of the Adige . Since then, the MeBo has relieved the numerous local passages on the left of the Adige in the course of the old SS 38 - in particular Sinich , Burgstall , Gargazon , Vilpian and Terlan - and has significantly shortened travel times within South Tyrol.

At the northern end of the route, it also serves as a bypass road for Merano, where it is therefore also known as the West Tangent ( Italian Tangenziale Ovest ). In Bozen, the MeBo ends in the extensive industrial area on the southern outskirts in Siemensstrasse. There it is directly linked to the Brenner motorway (A 22) via the Bozen Süd junction , and there is a connection to the national Brenner road (SS 12).

At the end of 2012, the Marling entrance and exit of the south lane was relocated a few hundred meters to the north in order to be able to offer better connections to the main road Meran - Lana with the newly built roundabout. The entrance to Eppan was also widened. In 2013, the additional exit Merano Center was opened, which creates a direct connection to the Merano train station through a tunnel and, after the final construction of the tunnel, is to be a bypass Merano into the Passeiertal.

The MeBo is part of Strada Statale 38 dello Stelvio (SS 38). This leads beyond Merano as an ordinary two-lane road over the Stilfser Joch and ends at Lake Como . At the end of the Bolzano route, Strada Statale 38 continues as an inner-city road for about one kilometer and only ends at the junction with the SS 12 . Coming from the Vinschgau direction , the MeBo runs as follows:
