RSSThe budget for Germany’s Motorway Directorate for Northern Bavaria will remain at around €520 million for 2017, according to media reports.

For many years the budget for the Autobahndirektion Nordbayern (ADNB) was pegged between €320-380 million. This changed last year when it was boosted to €520 million, noted the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Substantial work is planned on the A3 and A6 motorways and on bridges. The 94km on the A3 between Aschaffenburg and Würzburg will be widened to six lanes by 2019 at an estimated cost of €1.3 billion.

Federal Motorway 3 - BAB3 or A3 – is a 778km highway that runs from the border with the Netherlands near Wesel in the northwest to the Austrian border near Passau in the southeast.

Major cities on the A3 include Düsseldorf, Leverkusen, Cologne, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, Würzburg, Nuremberg and Regensburg. It is an important supply connection between the industrial manufacturing Rhine-Ruhr area and southern Germany. As such, long stretches are three lanes plus an emergency lane in each direction, including a 300km stretch between between Oberhausen and Aschaffenburg.

The 477km Federal Motorway 6 - also known as Via Carolina – runs between Nürnberg and the Czech border for a connection to Prague in the Czech Republic. It starts at the French border near Saarbrücken in the west and ends at the Czech border near Waidhaus in the east.
