A3 expansion near Regensburg: Now 6 traces are rolling on a new noise barrier!

Regensburg, Deutschland - After six years of hard work, the six -lane expansion of the A3 between the Regensburg motorway junction and the Rosenhof junction is now finally completed. Autobahn GmbH of the federal government is celebrating this great success, because since Sunday evening the vehicles have been running for the first time over the new, sound -absorbing surface!

As early as December 2023, the widening of four to six lanes was completed, but the final completion required additional work on several weekends in autumn. For this purpose, over 15 kilometers of roads had to be extensively renovated, including the new building of 16 impressive bridges - one of which spans 23 tracks from Deutsche Bahn. An ambitious project that made a total of 290 million euros!

A3 - a lifeline for the region

The A3, which extends from North Rhine-Westphalia to Passau, is the second longest motorway in Germany after the A7 and acts as a decisive transport connection between the Rhine-Main area and Austria and Southeast Europe. It is an essential lifeline for Regensburg, which, in addition to trade and trade, also combines industrial companies and educational institutions. In 2010, there were already an impressive 67,000 vehicles a day - and this number could increase to 82,000 by 2039!

This costly and elaborate expansion was included in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 in 2016. The patience of the road users was put to the test, but now that the highway can be accessed around the clock, everyone can look forward to future -proof road traffic!
