course

Course of the west bypass (red)

The road starts in the north at a roundabout. So far the northern bypass road (FS 44) ends here and meets the state road 2084, which leads in the direction of Allershausen and establishes the connection to the A9 . After a few meters the road disappears in the tunnel under the district of Vötting . The 705 m long tunnel ends just south of the passage under the Moosach on the outskirts of Vötting. The Vöttinger Weiher recreation area is bypassed to the west in an arc . Before crossing the Munich – Regensburg railway line, there is a connection to Angerstraße. The west bypass ends at the intersection of State Road 2350 (formerly B 11 ) with the southern bypass (FS 44) which leads over the Schlueter Bridge and over which traffic flows towards Munich Airport and the A92 .

history

The first considerations about a western bypass of Freising came in 1967. These were also taken into account in the 1972 zoning plan . After the preliminary investigations were completed, the regional planning procedure was initiated on December 29, 1976, which resulted in the application for planning approval in 1987 . This was completed on October 4, 1995 with the planning approval decision. The Vöttinger Citizens' Forum sued against the construction of the tangent. The lawsuits in 1998 before the Administrative Court and in 1999 before the Bavarian Administrative Court were successful and stopped the planning. The decisive factor was the classification of the street as a municipal road . The connection of federal and state roads would, however, suggest a higher classification.

The new planning began in 2000. In October 2000 it was decided to build the west bypass as a district road, but as a special construction burden for the city of Freising, which must therefore plan and finance the road. After the question of the route had been clarified, the application for planning approval was submitted to the government of Upper Bavaria in April 2004. After a few changes to the plan (renouncing the connection of the St 2339, extending the tunnel), the planning approval decision was issued on June 12, 2008. Complaints by the Vöttinger Bürgerforum before the administrative court were unsuccessful and the planning approval decision became legally binding in March 2011. The planned start of the project was July 2013.

In May 2013, the action alliance Besser ohne Westtangente announced a referendum on the western bypass and the start of the project was postponed for the time being. The opponents cited nature and landscape protection reasons, insecure financing and general doubts about the benefits of the new bypass. In the referendum carried out on September 22, 2013 parallel to the Bundestag election, the proponents of the western bypass emerged victorious with 56.5% of the votes, whereupon the city council approved the project on November 21, 2013.

In 2015 the Vöttinger Citizens' Forum tried again to apply for a referendum . The stated goal was an extensive three-year construction freeze on the western bypass in order to first wait for the effects of the bypass of the B 301 (at this point in time planned start of construction in 2017, duration 3–4 years) on the traffic in Freising and then to make a new decision on the western bypass . However, the opponents hoped indirectly to end the project. The required number of votes to apply for the referendum was achieved, but the Freising City Council rejected it on the grounds that a referendum could only be valid for 1 year and that a project stop in view of the sums already invested would not be compatible with the principles of economy and efficiency. A lawsuit by the citizens' forum before the Bavarian Administrative Court against this decision was rejected in May 2016.

The annual festival Prima leben und stereo at Vöttinger Weiher took place for the last time in 2015, as the festival site was in the immediate vicinity of the construction site of the western bypass.

financing

The planned costs were 85.6 million euros. Of this, 70% should be borne by the Free State of Bavaria. Further donors are the district of Freising and the area fund of Munich Airport. In this case, the share of the City of Freising would have been 17.5 million euros.

At the end of 2015, the total costs were given as 91 million euros, with the city of Freising's share increasing to 18.1 million euros.

Construction work

The groundbreaking was on May 7, 2015. The planned construction time is four years. The first construction work took place east of the railway line. A bridge was built here over Schlüterallee. In 2016/17 the bridge over the railway line and the construction road through the Freisinger Moos to the south portal of the future tunnel will be built. In the course of 2018, several bridges and passages for small animals were built on the route. In the second half of the year the intersection with the State Road 2350 and the FS44 was rebuilt. On July 17, 2020, the first section of the western bypass between State Road 2350 and the connection to Angerstraße was opened to traffic. The aim is to relieve the eastern Angerstrasse from the traffic of the local commercial area and the construction site traffic of a residential area under construction there.

Tunneling

The mining of the tunnel began at the beginning of May 2017. The opening ceremony of the tunnel took place on May 22, 2017. The patron of the tunnel is the Freising city master builder Barbara Schelle. In the mined part of the tunnel started which took place puncture the cap on 18 January 2018, the expansion of the stope was completed on April 13 of that year. Problems arose when crossing under the Moosach at the end of 2018, which will lead to delays and additional costs. According to initial estimates, commissioning will therefore be postponed from the end of 2020 to mid-2021.
