The Rijksweg 50 ( Abbreviation: RW 50) - Short Form: Autosnelweg 50 ( Abbreviation: A50 ) / autoroute 50 ( Abbreviation: N50 ) - is a Dutch motorway. The highway begins in Eindhoven in the eastern province of North Brabant and runs over Arnhem in the province of Gelderland and Apeldoorn to Emmeloord in the north of the province of Flevoland.
Originally Rijksweg was 50 from the interchange Hintham (A2 ), a district ' s Hertogenboschs until the motorway junction Joure (A7 ) in the Dutch province of Friesland. The part between the interchange and the interchange Emmeloord Joure is now a section of the A6, while the part between the interchange and the interchange Hintham Paalgraven now part of the A59.
About the A50 highway, stretch four green bridges. Two are located between Arnhem and Apeldoorn ( Woeste Hoeve and Terlet ), and two more on the section between Eindhoven and Oss, in Uden and Son en Breugel.
N50 Oss - 's- Hertogenbosch
The N50 between Oss and 's- Hertogenbosch was originally a part of the 50th Rijkswegs Since the route of the A50, however, was created by Oss in the direction of Eindhoven, got the piece between Oss and' s- Hertogenbosch, after renovation and expansion, the name A 59.
A50 Eindhoven - Oss
Before the construction of the A50 Eindhoven was connected to Oss by the N265, which ran through the town centers of Son, Veghel and Mary Heath. The connection between the two cities has been improved by the completion of the last section of the A50 between Eindhoven and Oss and traffic nuisance in the places affected significantly reduced.
2001, work began to complete the section between Eindhoven and Uden. This section was opened to traffic in 2004. In October 2005, the section between Uden and Oss was completed. On 8 July 2006, the construction work was completed at the motorway junction Paalgraven. This interchange connects the A50 to the A59, the traffic has to leave shortly and in the direction of 's- Hertogenbosch, however the highway.
The connection of the A50 to the motorways around Eindhoven to March 2010 due to road crossings ( at-grade intersections ) and made possible by traffic lights. In the course of the conversion and extension of the beltway around Eindhoven ( A58, A2, A67 ) from four to eight lanes the highway junction Ekkersrijt / Bokt became extended to a full interchange with connecting ramps. With completion of the work in the spring of 2010, the southern part of the A50 is fully connected to the motorway network.
The section between Eindhoven and Oss is 35 km long, where the outer layer is made of a continuous piece of concrete. This type top coat was used here for the first time on a large scale in the Netherlands.
To keep the harassment as low as possible traffic noise of the A50 close to the living ends was used as the top layer of porous asphalt.
A50 Oss - Hattemerbroek
The A50 and A12 share a route between the motorway junction Grijsoord and the motorway junction Waterberg. For this reason, this section has been expanded to six lanes.
Autoweg N50 Hattemerbroek - Emmeloord
From the motorway junction Hattemerbroek to the motorway junction Emmeloord the Rijksweg 50 is not created as a motorway, but as Autoweg ( dual carriageway ). The section from Hattemmerbroek Kampen Zuid was a third lane extended ( 2 1 configuration) and 2006 the traffic pass. In 2003 a new road was laid using the island bridge west of Kampen for the section between Kampen and Ens. Due to the increasing number of fatal traffic accidents, however, is now planned to extend this route to the highway.
