The Auto Route 1, a short A1, is one of the longer wires of Luxembourg motorway network, but not nearly as much traffic as the Autoroutes 3, 4 and 6
The Auto Route 1 runs from Gaspericher cross ( cross between A3/A6/A1 up to the Luxembourg- German border crossing water Cheap / Mesenich ). In the vernacular it is called the " Tréirer Autobunn " ( Trier motorway). It essentially follows the course of the N1, on which the traffic was headed by Luxembourg prior to the opening of the A1 to Trier.
The A1 was divided into 3 sections and gradually opened. The oldest section is the water from the border crossing Cheap / Mesenich where the German A 64 transitions seamlessly from Trier in the Luxembourg A1 until the exit Potaschbierg. This section was released September 6, 1988 for traffic.
On 11 July 1990 was followed by the section of the Potaschbierg exit to exit Munsbach. The completion was performed with release of the last section of the Munsbach exit to the present Jonction Kirchberg on 26 June 1992, to which a part of the city bypass "Boulevard Contournement " was attached to the Gaspericher cross.
The total length of the A1 is in its final stage today 36.203 km.
Directly behind the Gaspericher Cross leads the A1 through the tunnel Howald ( 468 m length) and between exits sand hamlets and Kirchberg through the tunnel Cents ( 310 m length). Currently, there are 11 exits ( Sortie ), of which the exit Flaxweiler (No. 12) may be used only in the direction Trier and exit in the direction of Luxembourg driveway.
Another special feature is the exit Kirchberg (No. 8 ), which also serves as a motorway interchange to the partly still under construction A7 next to the function as an exit.
For reasons of nature protection were two wild bridges, which are shaped like two-sided funnel constructed.
