The north bypass is a planned, very controversial and partially completed expressway in Karlsruhe . According to the original plan, it was to serve as a feeder road and bypassing the city in an east-west direction in the course of Bundesstraße 10 .

The route was south of Karlsruhe northern districts Hagsfeld , Forest City and Neureut manner in accordance with the original plans between the conservation area Hardtwald north cut through the city center. Together with the A 8 , expansion plans for the B 10 in the Palatinate Forest and plans for a second Rhine bridge , a new European east-west axis would have emerged.

Planning and construction progress

The north bypass, like the south bypass that was completed in 1988 , was part of the Karlsruhe transport route plan approved by the local council in 1961 after five years of planning. As early as 1926, the general development plan provided for a road roughly on today's route.

Per Zoning secured planning completed and legally last instance of the eastern section with vierspurigem and crossing-free expansion is 10 east and Theodor-Heuss-Allee in Karlsruhe between B. The Herdweg- A 5 –Elfmorgenbruchstrasse section to connect the Karlsruhe-Hagsfeld industrial park and the Karlsruhe-Nord junction was opened on March 5, 2007.

The connection to the east on the old route of the B 10 has been in operation since June 21, 2009. Since then, the B 10 has led to the A 5 via the north bypass.

The start of construction and the financing of the further course are open. Opponents of the north bypass are calling for a two-lane bypass of the Karlsruhe district of Hagsfeld only to Haid-und-Neu-Strasse. In February 2009, the local council decided to examine whether Hagsfeld could be relieved as a local road.

So far only included in the zoning plan is the western section between the southern bypass near the Rhine bridge (with the option of a second Rhine bridge for road traffic, for which the plans for the planning approval were laid out on April 26, 2011) and the Linkenheimer Landstrasse in Karlsruhe.

In the middle section, according to a resolution of the local council from the 1980s, instead of a cut through the Hardtwald, there should only be a so-called "pot-bellied solution" with a detour via the Adenauerring , which is already further south . This plan was given up in February 2009 by the local council.

Due to the abandonment of the pot-bellied solution, the northern bypass was largely abandoned by the federal and state governments. Two sub-projects are currently planned that will run along the routes of the planned north bypass.
The Hagsfeld southern bypass , which is intended to relieve the district of the same name from through traffic, is to connect to the current end of the northern bypass , run over an underpass under the Rheinbahn and end at Haid-und-Neu-Straße. Furthermore, a crossbar is planned in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 , which will connect the planned second Rhine bridge and federal highway 36 .

In December 2017, the city has applied for Karlsruhe, the free support line of the north ring-West from the regional plan to remove.
