In the regional press the A 22 was often called "Coast Highway " and should work with their coastal course improve the hinterland connections of the North German ports.
The originally planned as the A 22 motorway was to lead from the A28 between junctions Bad Zwischenahn -West and Zwischenahner on the A 29 at Jäderberg, through the existing Weser tunnel on the A 27 near Bremerhaven until the planned triangle Drochtersen with the A 26. There, the highway should go to the original only up to this Autobahndreieck planned extension of the A 20, which should be continued from there through a planned Elbe Tunnel by Schleswig -Holstein to the existing route.

On 29 May 2007, the then- Lower Saxony Transport Minister Walter Hirche announced to plan a route priority over Bremervörde and Loxstedt between the Elbe and Weser. A northern route option that would result in about Lamstedt and Bad Bederkesa to the A27 north of Bremerhaven, but was not definitively excluded, the final determination was carried out in the regional planning process.
On 30 June 2009, the " Lower Saxony State Agency for Road and Transport", presented to the public a " national planning established route ".
