The Bundesautobahn 20 is a motorway in northern Germany . It was built from 1992 and is still being expanded. As Project 10, it was part of the German Unity Transport Projects . With the A 20, the Baltic coast and large areas of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania should be better connected to the West German and European transport network. It should relieve the federal highways 96 , 104 and 105 . The average daily traffic volume (DTV) forecast for 2010 for 1992 was far from being achieved. On the Lübeck – Wismar section, 34,000 (instead of 40,000 forecast) vehicles will be reached; 37,000 (instead of 60,000) vehicles on the Wismar section to the A 19 near Rostock. To the east, the volume of traffic drops to below 12,000 vehicles. In the Pasewalk area, only an average of 14,400 vehicles drive on the A 20, which corresponds to a well-frequented district road . The eastern part of the A 20 is one of the motorways with the least traffic in Germany. In the western part, however, a few connecting routes to the large seaports and an Elbe crossing for the north-west bypass of Hamburg are still missing .

The A 20 is so far the longest contiguous new autobahn since 1939 and replaced the federal autobahn 61 as the longest "two-digit" autobahn in Germany.

course

Bundesautobahn 20 has been running continuously since December 2009 from Bad Segeberg via the immediate hinterland of the Baltic Sea coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to the Uckermark interchange on the A 11 , where it merges into the B 166 towards Schwedt / Oder .

From Lübeck via Rostock to Greifswald the A 20 runs in an easterly direction, from here south in the direction of Neubrandenburg , then further south-east to Pasewalk and from there south to the Uckermark junction. At the Stralsund junction, which has been expanded to form a motorway triangle, the newly built federal highway 96 as a four-lane motorway joins .

Of the total route, 279.6 kilometers are in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, 26.8 kilometers in Brandenburg and 38.8 kilometers in Schleswig-Holstein . The route includes 105 motorway bridges, four motorway junctions and triangles and 35  junctions .

The Lübeck Airport was awarded in 2007 as part of the newly built national road 207 direct junction Lubeck-South.

Wakenitz under the A 20 bridge

In the Wakenitz valley , the A 20 passes the former inner-German border between the Groß Sarau and Lüdersdorf junctions . East of the Wakenitz is the former exclusion zone on the western border of the GDR , which is now part of the German Green Belt and thus the European Green Belt . To ensure that the network of biotopes from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea along the former Iron Curtain is disturbed as little as possible, a 50 m long green bridge was built over the A 20 in the Green Belt . This is intended to enable animals to move from the biotopes north of the motorway to those south of it. Directly at the border you can walk along the Wakenitz under the 294 m long motorway bridge.

Rest stops

Five motorway service stations were planned for the A-20 section in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , of which only three were opened by November 2016. The infrastructural preparations have been made for the two remaining ones, but no investors have yet been found who want to build and open rest stops there, so that the areas can only be used to a limited extent as a parking lot due to the lack of sanitary facilities. At the height of the Grimmen exit there is also a truck stop with a fast food restaurant and a petrol station. According to the Ministry of Transport, the reason is the region's slow economic development, the low volume of traffic and the associated high entrepreneurial risk. Only one rest stop was planned for the Schleswig-Holstein section of the A 20.

On July 21, 2016, the " Demminer Land" service station was opened. It is located between the Jarmen and Anklam junctions and is only on one side on the western side of the A 20, but can be reached from both lanes via a bridge. So far it is the only rest stop in Western Pomerania .

Further construction and planning

In future, the motorway is to lead beyond its end at the Bad Segeberg-Ost junction through an Elbe tunnel to be built west of Hamburg and through the existing Weser tunnel south of Bremerhaven to the A 28 near Westerstede in Lower Saxony. It crosses the motorways 21 , 7 , 23 , 26 , 27 and 29 continuously for around 200 km , with the A 26 still to be built here. In the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 classified as an urgent need, the costs as of 2012 are estimated at around 3.2 billion euros. Construction on the Westerstede-Jaderberg section is expected to start in 2020.

Northwest bypass of Hamburg

North of Hamburg, the autobahn is of particular importance as the Hamburger Nordring . The plan approval decision for the section including the crossing of the A 21 from Weede to Wittenborn was issued on April 30, 2012. On November 6, 2013 the Federal Administrative Court ruled that the plan approval decision for this section is not enforceable. The court found that the planning did not take sufficient account of the binding European legal requirements with regard to the protection of the FFH areas “ Segeberger Kalkberghöhle ” and “Travetal”. On the one hand, the method for recording the population of protected bats was considered inadequate. On the other hand, the alternative test regarding a southern route variant was criticized. The planning had to be reworked accordingly, combined with a delay of two to three years.

On November 27, 2018, the Federal Administrative Court stopped the further construction between the A 7 and Wittenborn near Bad Segeberg for the time being and declared the planning approval decision to be “illegal and not enforceable”. The judges criticized planning errors for the 20-kilometer section, the so-called water law deterioration ban from European water law had not been observed and there were deficits in the species protection test - including the bats in the Segeberg limestone caves. Transport Minister Bernd Buchholz estimated that it would take two to three years to make improvements .

Finding a sea ​​eagle hory near Hohenfelde near the planned motorway also means a delay of at least two years . Although the eyrie was abandoned in December 2015, it retains its hatchery status for three years.

For the remaining sections of the route, including the Elbe crossing at Glückstadt , the formal route definition took place on July 28, 2005. They are currently in the planning phase. The largest structure on this route is to be the tunnel under the Elbe near Glückstadt . It is planned to have them built by private investors. At the moment (September 2017), toll financing is no longer considered. Two two-lane tubes with a length of approximately 5200 meters and an inner diameter of almost twelve meters are planned.

In the area of ​​Lower Saxony, the A 20 is to be connected to the A 26 in the direction of Stade and Hamburg via the planned Kehdingen intersection . According to the original plans, the planned A 22 should continue in a south-westerly direction . The planned route is now also to become part of the A 20.

Extension in Lower Saxony to the A 28

A 20 to by the existing Wesertunnel lead

An originally planned extension of the Elbe tunnel south to the A1 at Sittensen is in favor of the first as A 22 has been postponed planned route in the West ( "Coastal Highway"). On June 25, 2010 it was announced that this route would also be implemented as part of the A 20. This should make it clear that the coastal motorway is extending the Baltic Sea motorway.

This section begins at the Kehdingen motorway junction with the planned A 26 and bypasses Engelschoff to the southeast. Furthermore, the motorway will run northwest of Himmelpforten , north of Oldendorf and east of Estorf . In the further course the Oste will be bridged north of Nieder Ochtenhausen , Bremervörde will be bypassed to the northwest, Hipstedt will be touched in the southeast and on the northern edge of Lunestedt the route will turn further west. In addition, the route will run north of the Bremen – Bremerhaven railway line in a south-easterly direction and then bypass Loxstedt in an almost semicircle to the north. At the Bremerhaven- Süd triangle , the autobahn will join the A 27 , follow it for seven kilometers to the Stotel triangle and then head west through the existing Weser tunnel on federal highway 437 . The A 20 will then continue to the southwest, bypassing Schwei to the west and Neustadt to the east and in an arc to the south-east around Jaderberg, crossing the Jade at Jade, crossing the A 29 at the Jaderberg junction . The motorway is supposed to pass the Hahn estate 700 m away . From the cross the motorway will lead northwards through the Dringenburger Moor before it finally joins the A28 at Westerstede .

This process emerged for the first time from the documents on the regional planning procedure published on October 18, 2007 and the state planning assessment of February 2009. In the regional planning procedure, construction costs of around 1.1 billion euros were named.

On February 27, 2012, Lower Saxony's Prime Minister David McAllister announced that he had agreed with the Federal Ministry of Transport to start building the motorway in Lower Saxony at the end of 2013, initially between Bremervörde and Elm . For two sections (Westerstede – Jaderberg and Bremervörde – Elm) the planning approval procedures have been initiated; the planning approval decision Westerstede – Jaderberg was issued on April 16, 2018. The question of financing the Elbe tunnel is still open. Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt assumed in September 2017 that there would be no toll financing. Alexander Dobrindt expects the right to build the tunnel in 2019 ^{[out of date]} and for the two connecting sections at the beginning of the next decade.

According to the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport, the start of construction for the section between Westerstede and Jaderberg is expected in autumn 2019 (as of late February 2019). However, the start of construction has been postponed to probably mid-2020 due to pending lawsuits.

discussion

The construction of the coastal motorway was particularly demanded by the (port) economy of north-west Germany, not least because of the additional traffic expected through the JadeWeserPort in Wilhelmshaven . Above all, the motorway would create a shorter connection between the Netherlands and the Ruhr area and 60 km past Hamburg (and further to Scandinavia and Eastern Europe) and should relieve the A 1 by two percent. Since the federal government did not yet want to finance the planning, more than 750,000 euros in donations were collected in 2006 - especially from companies in the region - in order to contribute to the necessary preliminary planning costs so that they could start immediately. This third of the planning costs was declared a private donation, although many of the large donations came from associations, utilities, financial institutions and other "semi-public" companies. The state budget of Lower Saxony has allocated over 40 million euros for ongoing planning.

There was considerable resistance from the affected population along the planned routes. A broad alliance of citizens' initiatives, environmental and transport associations opposed the destruction of the landscape associated with the construction, questioned the profitability of the project (benefit-cost ratio 1.9 according to the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan ; according to the spatial planning procedure documents up to 4.2) and saw a large number regional jobs at risk. As an alternative, the alliance called for the expansion of the railway network in order to be able to shift even more traffic from road to rail.

After the name had been changed from “A 22” to “A 20”, the “A22-NIE” initiative indicated that the state government was “taking an oath of disclosure”. [...] Obviously, the promotion of the regional economy that has been propagated so far is not valid. By approving the renaming, the federal government is also making it clear that the A 22/20 is primarily intended to serve international transit traffic. "

Numbering of the connection points

When numbering the junctions, the route to the west of the A 1 was not taken into account. Therefore, after the entire route has been completed, the junctions may have to be numbered again.

Archaeological survey of the route

Before the construction work, the entire route was examined by the state archaeological offices . A new, three-stage process was developed as the basis for the investigations. In the first phase, the existing monuments along the route are determined on the basis of archive documents and aerial photo evaluations. In addition, an inspection was carried out and the field surface searched. It turned out that very few of the monuments existing in the route area were previously known. 161 sites were identified in the 90-kilometer section between Schönberg and Rostock, of which only nine were previously known. The number of soil monuments identified along the route is 594, of which 495 are in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, 29 in Brandenburg and 70 in Schleswig-Holstein. Previously only about 100 were known.

Once the prospecting and evaluation of the soil reports were completed, only quantitative statements on the existing site were possible. Since the scientific-historical added value had to be assessed when selecting excavation objects, the sites were subjected to a preliminary investigation. For this purpose, two meter wide, mostly 50–100 m long search cuts were made, which showed whether the condition of the site justified further investigations.

A total of around 430 archaeological monuments were examined between 1994 and 2004 during the A 20 , with 138 sites being uncovered. Their temporal depth spans more than 11,000 years. The spectrum of diagnosis types is very broad. In addition to settlements, which make up the largest part, a complete Slavic castle complex with associated outer bailey settlement, grave systems of various types, sacrificial sites, production sites, routes, a weir store and seasonal workplaces were documented. Many of the excavation results are of great national or supraregional importance. Examples of the success of the investigations are the discovery of the Jarmen fireplace site , the Triwalk fireplace site and the discovery of the flint ax from Wodarg .

Construction work

Memorial stone for the release of the first section

The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of this motorway was carried out in 1992 by the then Federal Minister of Transport, Günther Krause , at the Wismar- Mitte junction . This is why this motorway was sometimes also called the "Krause motorway". Part of the project was approved by the Investment Measures Act , without a plan approval procedure .

The main focus was initially placed on sections in the vicinity of which federal roads and through-roads were particularly polluted. Since November 1997, it has been possible to drive the 18-kilometer section between Grevesmühlen and the Wismar motorway junction, and since the end of 2000 the entire 91.1-kilometer section between Schönberg via Wismar to Rostock. On December 7, 2005, Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the last sections near Tribsees and Greifswald in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania after 14 years of planning and construction . The construction costs totaled 1.9 billion euros.

Due to a breakdown between Lübeck and Geschendorf, the release of this section was delayed until July 28, 2009. The section contains 20 bridge structures including a controversial wilderness bridge near Strukdorf , which consists of large reinforced concrete arches and is similar to a tunnel. The subsequent section to Weede was opened to traffic on December 21, 2009, six months earlier than planned. The following approvals were given in detail:

Breakdowns

Inferior covering in West Mecklenburg

The approximately 14 kilometer long section between Schönberg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the Schleswig-Holstein state border became known because of a series of breakdowns. The section with a concrete pavement , roughened with a "broom line across" - which has been considered obsolete in motorway construction since around 1990 and dubbed "roaring concrete" by the media - was half a kilometer away due to increased tire-road noise Road traffic noise with a sound pressure level of more than 100  decibels instead of the permitted 80 decibels. Therefore, until the technical or structural solution to the problem, the maximum permitted speed was limited to 100 km / h. In August 2005 the concrete was covered with an asphalt surface. During the work, about 300 vehicles were damaged by bitumen emulsion that got onto the roadway in the rain . In the very hot month of July 2006, the new pavement threw bubbles up to 30 centimeters in size for the first time, which were attributed to water inclusions between the concrete and the asphalt and which were removed by drilling. In the period that followed, bubbles formed in the asphalt at high temperatures. A final remedy is not yet in sight.

Blistering near Lübeck

Similar problems arose on the section from the Lübeck motorway junction to Geschendorf, which has now been released with reservations . The clearance planned for July 6, 2009 was delayed because numerous asphalt bubbles two to three centimeters high appeared on the entire section. The bubbles should, after holes have been drilled in them, be flattened by motorists. A speed limit of 120 km / h therefore applied to motorcyclists.

Sacking at Tribsees

Sacked section on October 11, 2017

At Tribsees , only one lane per direction is provisionally available on an approximately 1.3 km long section until 2023.

Here , in September 2017 , the road to the west sagged by half a meter over a length of around 100 meters and was then closed. At least two years were estimated for the repair. By October 2017, the affected section continued to sag by over two and a half meters over a length of 40 meters and was thereby destroyed piece by piece over its entire width. At this point the motorway embankment crosses the Trebel valley on extremely soft peatland . In a method used for the first time, a so-called “ peat lens ” was previously supported. This was done with dry mortar columns (CSV columns), consisting of a mixture of sand and cement. The soil under the dam was improved over a length of 600 meters. This may not have withstood the load. The exact cause should be determined. The necessary closure of the autobahn made it necessary to set up a diversion between the Triebsees and Bad Sülze junctions, where traffic was a heavy burden on village passages.

The contracts for the dismantling of the destroyed dam and the construction of a temporary bridge were awarded in March 2018. On November 12, 2018, the temporary bridge was completed on the southern carriageway, so that one lane is available for each direction of travel. The road was opened to traffic on December 12, 2018. Since August 2019, the final northerly carriageway will probably be constructed until mid-2020 as a largely underground bridge instead of on a dam as before. After removing the temporary bridge, this can also be done for the other lane. The final completion of the renovation measure is planned for 2023.

Ecological compensation measures

The construction of the A 20 represents a very extensive encroachment on nature and the landscape, which according to the Federal Nature Conservation Act must be compensated for by suitable measures. For this purpose, appropriate measures were specified in the respective planning approval decisions. So z. B. between Franzburg and Richtenberg since 2006 by re- damming the Richtenberger See . In addition, several green bridges over the autobahn, not only in connection with the German Green Belt, are intended to prevent the autobahn from cutting up biotopes with the result that animals can no longer move from one part of their ancestral habitat to another.
