History
Already a map around 1958 a motorway link from Wismar Schwerin, Magdeburg and Leipzig to Dresden from engineers had been planned. These plans have not been implemented in GDR times mostly. After completion of the transit highway from Hamburg to Wittstock / Dosse - the leg Wittstock Berliner Ring of today's A 24 already existed since the construction of the highway Berlin -Rostock - hit the Politburo in November 1982, the decision to link the international port of Wismar on this transit route. Although transport policy of the construction or rehabilitation of other routes in the GDR would have been necessary, because even then analyzes predicted a very low utilization, concentrated at the time in the northwest of the DDR machines and workers should continue to be used there without great effort. Even before completion of the originally planned 55 km of track work was stopped for financial reasons. The 20 -kilometer highway ended in 1986 with one lane in each direction at the present connection Schwerin -east, which still bore the name Schwerin Süd until after the turn. Only about half of the track, was built in 1984 to four lanes. There was talk from now on " Schwerin Connection". The completion of the second carriageway took place in 1992 under GDR plans that did not provide emergency lane. The section between the ports Schwerin - East and North - Schwerin was released in 2000 after three years of construction and provided with emergency lane.
The Highway 241 led to the renaming in A 14 on a length of 32 kilometers from the triangle Schwerin on the A 24 in the district of Ludwigsburg pleasure Parchim north east past Schwerin and Schwerin interior lake up to the connection Schwerin North near Cambs. The former A 241 was never particularly heavily traveled because Schwerin of the A 24 via the connection points Ludwig Lust ( B 106) or Hagenow (B 321) is achieved at a shorter distance. In addition, Wismar was always available after the respective final construction phase of the A 241 only partially quite narrow alley streets, which is why you prefer the B used here 106.
On 24 August 2006, the section between the cross and Wismar junction Jesendorf was opened to traffic. The cost of building these around eleven -kilometer section were about 50 million euros. At the same time, the finished parts of the A 241 was renamed to A14 to clarify that a connection to the existing A14 in Saxony -Anhalt and Saxony is planned. The A 14 is to run in the future from the connection Kritzow at Wismar until Nossen (A 4). The further construction was delayed due to financial and above all legal environmental problems. Groundbreaking ceremony of the last section was the 30 October 2007. On 21 December 2009, the opening to traffic for now consistently between A 20 and A 24 motorway was passable.
