Wiesbadener Kreuz

In April 2011 planning was begun for a move away from the cloverleaf shape to something more suitable for higher traffic volumes, specially to remove two of the 270 degree turns. Instead, it was proposed to adopt a variant which was developed by the Hessian Road and Traffic Administration of two left-turning, semi-direct connecting arcs. The connecting ramps of the routes between Wiesbaden and Würzburg as well as between Cologne and Frankfurt are to be run in two lanes. The planned variant is the best solution in terms of road safety, environmental compatibility and economic efficiency. The published site plan for the project seems to require a new implementation of the Wandersmann monument. A specific time frame for the start of the construction work was not set and as of September 2021 no further work along these lines has been developed, and the interchange is not listed for any forthcoming projects according to Autobahn GmbH. == Traffic volume ==
