Traffic chaos threatens: Kassel fights against traffic jams on the south tangent!
Kassel, Deutschland - In Kassel, the upcoming opening of a controversial section of the A49 motorway ensures considerable concern with the local authorities. Despite the continuing delays in the renovation of the south tangent, Autobahn GmbH plans to release the gap between A49 and A5 for traffic until the end of the year. This could lead to an increase of up to 17,000 vehicles per day, including 9,000 trucks, in the region, as the . The local mayors of Niederzewehren and Oberzwehren, Harald Böttger and Philipp Humburg, describe the decision as completely irrational, precisely because the situation on the south tangent is already overloaded.
The motorway company wants to release the connecting point, while there are massive backlogs, especially on the Kassel-West cross. Böttger emphasizes that the traffic chaos will not disappear at the end of March because the construction work on the motorway bridge over Nuremberg Strasse is expected to take longer. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that numerous drivers switch to abbreviations through the residents to avoid traffic jams. According to Humburg, all proposals were rejected by the city of Kassel.
approval of the A49: New transport connections
The new section of the A49 will better network the economic areas between Kassel and Gießen and is intended to help relieve the national traffic of significantly stressed federal roads. The Ministry of Transport sees an important infrastructural measure in the A49 to improve the traffic connection of the region.
