The Federal Highway 98 (abbreviated as BAB 98) - Short form: Highway 98 ( Abbreviation: A 98 ) - there are four in total 44.5 km long highway sections in the south of Baden- Württemberg. They run between the interchange Weil am Rhein, and the interchange High Rhine ( A 861 ), Murg and Hauenstein, Waldshut -Tiengen and Lauchringen and between the interchange and the junction Hegau Stockach -east.
Earlier plan presentation
The planning of the highway are from the 1960s and was originally run from Weil am Rhein to the A 8 at Deer Mountain. Most of it was abandoned. Thus, inter alia, the section north of Lake Constance because of local protests replaced by a three-to four-lane expansion of B 31.
The SPD on the Upper Rhine was a long time due to the large interventions against a highway planning and called for a so-called " High Rhine highway ". At the urging of the CDU and the swirling of the former Member of Parliament Karin Roebuck Zureich it came to recording the A 98 in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2003. It was hoped that by the construction of A 98 to relieve the through traffic affected communities. The Greens are still against the construction of the A 98 and at most require the expansion of B 34
The plan was the construction of a new four-lane bridge over the Rhine between the German - French border near Märkt and the motorway interchange Weil am Rhein to link the A98 with the French motorway network. The planned route on the French territory, which was kept for many years, has been removed from the spatial plans of 2011. A angedachte connection westwards accounted hereby. A connection in the east to the A81 motorway is only possible via the B 314 along the border with Switzerland. Due to the topography here comes a highway expansion as out of the question.
The sections Murg -Hauenstein and Tiengen - Lauchringen are posted as a dual carriageway. They were built as so-called "longitudinal split urgency ".
The planning section of Lörrach- singing is known as " High Rhine highway ", the section Sing -Lindau should bear the name " Lake Highway " and the further distance between Lindau and Deer Mountain on the A 8, the term " pre-Alpine highway ".
The term " Bodensee motorway " is since planning for the A81 section Stuttgart - Singen used, which results from the greater Stuttgart area a popular resort area of Lake Constance.
Completed sections and current plans
Section of Weil am Rhein to Rheinfelden Karsau
The first section of the A 98 begins at interchange Weil am Rhein, travels around Basel / Switzerland, Lörrach and Rheinfelden and ends on the High Rhine delta. This first section, together with the connection of the A 98 near Rheinfelden with the Swiss N 3 by the short A 861 for the Greater Basel bypass function. For this was the two -tube tunnel built during the A 861 Nollinger mountain.
Later in 2012 began the construction of the 2.5 km long four-lane section between the interchange High Rhine ( A 861 ) and the connection point Rheinfelden- Karsau with Voreinschnitten for the proposed rule Buck tunnel.
Tunnel through the rule hump
The two tunnel tubes, is begun in the earliest in 2014, should be designed with a total of five lanes. The completion of the section is for before the end of 2016Vorlage: provided future / In 2 years. Furthermore, the new building is planned with two carriageways between junction Rheinfelden- Karsau and the junction Murg- Rothaus and between junctions Hauenstein and Tiengen - west to the current Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan nor as urgent requirement.
Section Rheinfelden- Karsau to Wall Bach ( Bad Säckingen)
The section of Rheinfelden- Karsau to Wall Bach (A 98.5 ) is according to current plans at a construction 2016Vorlage: / In 2 years to 2021Vorlage future: will future / completed in 5 years.
Portion Wall Bach to Murg ( Upper Rhine )

The construction would be the earliest in the year 2020Vorlage: / Future In 5 Jahren/2023Vorlage: begin future / In 5 years and up 2029/2030Vorlage: his future completed / in 5 years.
Murg to Albbruck / Dogern
The next section Murg -Hauenstein was released on October 8, 2012 for the traffic, but does not have at least two lanes in each direction. Currently the connection of this section on a temporary, the so-called " exit Hauenstein " runs, the existing B - 34 bypass Albbruck / Dogern. Because of the curves and the slope this makeshift motorway is very accident prone.
Part Hauenstein to Waldshut / Tiengen
The planning section Hauenstein (running Castle ) - Tiengen (A 98.8 ) resting after the prioritization of the State of Baden- Württemberg completely. The mountain formerly planned pipeline route in this section were already classified in the 1990s due to the environmental issues as critical and then no longer be pursued.
Tiengen - West to Oberlauchringen / Geißlingen
The third completed section of the junction Tiengen -west to the junction Lauchringen with the three existing interchanges Tiengen -West, East and Tiengen Lauchringen serves as a bypass of Tiengen and was planned and built as such. In 2010 this section was expanded in the free section to three lanes (2 1 System). For four-lane expansion of missing the second tunnels of Heidennäckertunnels and civil railroad tunnel.
The next section should not be built more than planned A 98 - B 34 - track but as new. The track is from the previous endpoint of the connection point Lauchringen, where it meets the B 314 until Geißlingen ( B 34 ) run only with one lane in each direction as " local bypass Oberlauchringen " until the provisional end point approximately at the level of the station Grießen and is plan established. The bridge over the B 314 has already been completed. The construction of a bridge across the Wutach to follow. The course of the route essentially follows the edge of the forest east of Unterklettgau depression below the Küssaburg, close to the district border to Schwerzen. → card at the expected route (47 ° 37 ' 52 " N, 8 ° 20 ' 0" O47.6310408037878.3333015441895 ). There is only one planning law for a Federal road. A later extension to a motorway A 98 is no longer possible due to the non parameters to be observed. Thus, the A 98 ends already in the eastern county area of the district of Waldshut -Tiengen.
A route of Lauchringen to Singen (Hohentwiel ) to the existing there portion of the federal highway 81 in Gottmadingen is indeed desired by the German side, however, Switzerland rejects a pipeline route through its territory remains categorically. According to a Trassierungskonzeption the state of Baden -Württemberg, the A would have been 98 out of its earlier planned endpoint at Geißlingen by the Jestetter tip over Dettighofen, Jestetten and Lottstetten at Balm to the Swiss border. Here Switzerland had the A 98 will continue on its territory and connected with singing to the existing A81. That this plan is ever completed, is considered very unlikely and therefore will not be pursued further.
Opinions on the route decisions and initiatives at the local level
The Region of the Upper Rhine and Lake Constance, the Waldshut district, the town of Laufen castle and the church Albbruck gave in 2011 a planning study to identify a safe and traffic- technically appropriate solution in order, which recommends a shortened tunnel solution in the result. The tunnel " Albert " is to have a length of some 185 m.
The formerly black-yellow state government and the regional council had held to her time at the official version with roundabout / traffic light solution. The media reported in this context of political influence. Since 2010, this running a petition process in the Baden- Württemberg Landtag.
In section A 98.5 / 6 of the Regional Association of the Upper Rhine and Lake Constance, the towns of Bad Säckingen and defense, the district of Waldshut and Schluchseewerke jointly announced a feasibility study in order to provide an alternative to the previous official mountain route to consider. Result is the so-called " consensus path ".
BUND Germany is one of the A 98 to the twelve most absurd road projects in Germany. The A 98 is overpriced, oversized and eliminate any bottlenecks without causing massive damage to nature. BUND holds the High Rhine motorway (A 98) for more natural destructive environment and transport infrastructure questionable. He calls for the expansion of the federal highway 34, as the A 98 anyway behind Tiengen "in the field end ."
The CCI High Rhine Lake Constance criticized the remarks of the BUND for A 98 and refers to them as " stupid ". The opening function of a highway for a region and its supra-regional network function should not be hidden.
The government of Freiburg as a competent licensing authority issued on 18 March 2013 the military section - Murg the so-called " citizens forum on the Upper Rhine variant for comparison and transparency," a.
Toll charges
Since October 2006, the sections between running Castle and Hauenstein and between Tiengen -West and Lauchringen are new and since October 2012 also frees the section between Murg- Rothaus and running castle of the truck toll to relieve the municipalities on the B 34. Furthermore, the signs referred to members as dual carriageway and not as a motorway, this should be done only after complete expansion to four lanes.
