The double motorway ring around Halle and Leipzig is known as the Central German Loop . It includes parts of the highways 9 , 14 and 38 , as well as the short 143 (under construction).
It consists firstly of the motorway ring around Leipzig, which is formed by three highways: In the south km in this section 38 long runs from west to east A38 from Rippachtal the triangle Parthenaue . The A 14 follows for 32 km in a southeast-northwest direction northeast of Leipzig past Leipzig from the triangle Parthenaue to the Schkeuditzer Kreuz . The A 9 , in this section 24 km long, runs in a north-south direction from the Schkeuditzer Kreuz to the Rippachtal cross, west of Leipzig.
The larger motorway ring around Halle is formed by four motorways. Starting from the A 9 (north-south) from the Schkeuditz intersection to cross Rippachtal to it of the 26 km section includes the A38 (east-west direction) between Rippachtal and Triangle Hall South on, the A 143 (south-north direction) between the Halle-Süd triangle and the Halle-Nord triangle follows, but only 9 km of this can be driven to the Halle-Neustadt junction . From the planned Halle-Nord triangle, the A 14 leads 29 kilometers to the Schkeuditzer Kreuz.
The motorways are or will be expanded as follows:
section | Degree of expansion | current construction activity | |
---|---|---|---|
A 14 | Triangle Halle-Nord - Halle / Peißen | four lanes | completed |
A 14 | Halle / Peißen - Leipzig-East | six lanes | completed |
A 14 | Leipzig-East - Triangle Parthenaue | four lanes | six-lane expansion planned |
A 143 | Triangle Halle-Süd - Halle-Neustadt | four lanes | completed |
A 143 | Halle-Neustadt - triangle Halle-Nord | four lanes | under construction |
A 38 | Halle-Süd triangle - Parthenaue triangle | four lanes | completed |
A 9 | Schkeuditzer Kreuz - Kreuz Rippachtal | six lanes | completed |
The connection points Halle / Peißen, Leipzig-Mitte, Leipzig-Messegelände, Leipzig-West and Leipzig-South are designed as a clover leaf .
In the south of Leipzig, the A 72 coming from Chemnitz will reach the Central German Loop in the next few years and today's Leipzig-Süd junction of the A 38 at Markkleeberg will be converted into a motorway junction.
At the end of 2003, the Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk organized a naming competition for this construction, in which over 6,000 listeners of the radio station took part. In keeping with the station's name, the Central German Loop proposal won.
