South bypass (Bonn)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bonn Südtangente is a transport project that has been discussed within the city of Bonn as a multi-lane road connection between the 565 and 59 federal autobahns since around 1960 . The western connection to the A 565 could be level with the districts of Röttgen (Bonn) , Ückesdorf and Ippendorf on the left bank of the Rhine .

Basics

The project is part of the planned Ennert ascent on the right bank of the Rhine with a connection to the federal motorway 3 . It is necessary to cross the Rhine at the Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke (Bonn) , also known as the Südbrücke, using the 562 federal motorway . Both projects, for which tunnels and bridges are also planned, were and are controversial.

discussion

Many residents expect a disruption to the landscape, a significant increase in noise, environmental damage and more traffic instead of relief. Specifically, the destruction of the protected local recreation areas Venusberg (Bonn) , Kottenforst and Ennert is feared, the division of residential areas, the lowering of the groundwater level as a result of the tunnel construction in the area of ​​the Venusberg and the Ennert, more exhaust gas and fine dust pollution with consequences for numerous left- like Bonn districts on the right bank of the Rhine. Proponents expect an improvement in the traffic situation.

Several reports are available for this project. Most refuse to realize it.

The dispute is also about whether and with what consequences the planning will be included in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 and how it could be financed. The local politicians take different positions. The SPD and the Greens in the Bonn area reject the project, while the CDU and FDP have come out clearly in favor of it.

For decades, areas between the city districts of Bonn and Bonn-Bad Godesberg were kept free for an extension of the A 562 on the left bank of the Rhine . In June 2006, however, the Bonn city council decided to develop these areas, which has now taken place.
