Nord-Süd-Straße is the name of the five-kilometer eastern bypass from Stuttgart - Vaihingen in Baden-Württemberg . It was put into operation in 1999 and has a daily traffic volume of around 25,000 vehicles. It cost 77 million euros to build.

The road, originally planned as Federal Motorway 834, runs on its northeastern part through two tunnels (Hengstäcker and Österfeld tunnels) and crosses the Nesenbach at a height of 22 m on a bridge. Above the roadway of the 151 m long seamless steel truss bridge , a walkway and cycle path runs on tubular steel arches, which also carry soundproofing elements.

The north-south road begins between the StEP (Stuttgart Engineering Park) business park and the Österfeld S-Bahn station with a connection to federal highway 14 , which emerges from federal highway 831 . It heads south between Möhringen and the Wallgraben industrial park (Synergiepark) in the direction of federal motorway 8 .

On its southern part, Nord-Süd-Straße has six traffic-light-controlled junctions, at which traffic jams in the Wallgraben industrial area and alternative traffic from the A8 often lead to long traffic jams. Since July 2018, the intersections in the area of ​​the industrial park have been rebuilt in order to reduce the traffic. The completion of the work is planned for autumn 2019 [obsolete] . In addition to measures to reduce traffic, further expansion of the road to three or four lanes is under discussion.
