The Federal Highway 39 (abbreviated as BAB 39) - Short form: Highway 39 ( Abbreviation: A 39 ) - is a highway in Lower Saxony between cities Winsen, Lüneburg, Wolfsburg, Braunschweig and Salzgitter.
For the planned ongoing construction from Wolfsburg in the direction of Lüneburg zoning process (ROV ) was completed on 25 August 2007. It provides the A 39 to let in Lüneburg urban area on the highway 4 (the so-called eastern bypass ) run and bundle the pipeline route in the course with the same side channel. The line was determined in October 2008. According to the draft plan, the plan approval procedure should be initiated.

Course
The A 39 begins at the AS Weyhausen in Gifhorn by seen from the main road 248. From there it runs south through Wolfsburg motorway junction Wolfsburg / Königslutter with the A 2 continues past in a southwesterly direction to Cremlingen the junction Braunschweig- Rautheim. The construction of this only about 15 km section took place after the start of construction in 2002, over a number of years in several stages. Beginning with the release of parcels up to the connection points Sickte (2005), Cremlingen (2006 ), and finally connecting to the cross in early 2009. Only then is the A consistently passable 39 from Wolfsburg to Salzgitter. First, however, the traffic due to road damage in the region of the junction Cremlingen he had to leave one lane of the carriageway Wolfsburg, since mid-2011, the highway is also in this area four lanes passable, although this area is limited in the direction Wolfsburg briefly at 80 km / hr. 2011, at the height of the place Cremlingen a highway parking area with toilet ( Duke Mountains), the passenger car and 32 truck parking spaces and (later) on the south side of 47 cars and also 32 truck parking spaces will provide on the north side of 54, set up. There are also two parking spaces for buses and two disabled parking spaces. In its further course towards Salzgitter highway forms with the A 395 the cross -South Brunswick. After the A39 crosses the river Oker, crosses the motorway junction Braunschweig- West, the A 391 Continue south on Salzgitter Lebenstedt over until the motorway junction Salzgitter with the A 7 This section was originally created as a federal highway 490.
Originally built as part of the A 250 Maschener Cross to Lüneburg is described in Federal Highway 250.
Special
The triangle Salzgitter is designed as a highway junction. If you want the A 39 from Braunschweig / Berlin continue in the direction of Hanover, it must be changed and are retracted at the exit Derneburg / Salzgitter in the A7 at the exit Baddeckenstedt on the B6 towards Hildesheim, otherwise opens the A 39 exclusively in the A7 direction Kassel.
The A 395 starts not directly on the cross BS -south, but a few hundred yards away to the south. The A39 crosses, strictly speaking, the B 4
The winding tower of the disused mine and planned nuclear waste repository Schacht Konrad is clearly visible from the highway between the AS Salzgitter - Thiede and AS Salzgitter Lebenstedt -Nord. In this leg of the field of construction of a farmed tank and roadhouse in both directions, which will bear the name " Salzgitter cottage View " was started. The plan approval procedure for this was initiated in early August 2008. The newly built complex to replace the deleted end after completion of the junction Braunschweig- Rüningen -south tank system Rüningen.
Reconstruction of the triangle Brunswick Southwest
At the triangle Brunswick Southwest, the southern A39 followed until 2010 the diverging track. The train just went straight over to the A 391. Through the completed on 30 January 2009 closing the gap with the A 2 on the cross Wolfsburg / Königslutter However shifted through traffic from Frankfurt and Kassel to Berlin and Poland from the A 391 to the new section of the A 39, which is why a conversion of triangle was required. The conversion work before seen, to lead the sections of the A39 directly into each other to join the Federal Highway 391 as diverging track, and to widen the section between the triangle BS -southwest and the cross BS -South to six lanes, because it is there risk of accumulation to a section is.
The conversion was started in spring 2009 and concluded on 28 August 2012. The costs amounted to around 110 million euros.
Planned further construction towards Lüneburg
A connection Magdeburg -Hamburg there was at the very first Reichsautobahn plans of 1935, 1938 compounds from a node in Wittingen to Braunschweig, Hamburg, Magdeburg and Wittstock / Dosse in 1940 and the connection Braunschweig Hamburg. After the Second World War, the German division prevented their realization and the plans fit to be a connection Wolfsburg Hamburg the resources as shown here in 1971, but were never implemented because the path was recognized by the close parallel guide to A 7 as superfluous.
X and I variant
There have been various plans to continue the freeway from Wolfsburg. Defines and examines them in 1995 in the traffic study north-east ( bottom to top ). The so-called X - variant, which has been advocated among others by the ADAC, they went to Schwerin and cruised at Salzwedel the A 14, which should be extended from Magdeburg to Lüneburg.
In the so-called I - or braces variant, which was given in 2004 the preference, however, the A 14 runs to Schwerin and the A 39 to Lüneburg. Salzwedel is intended to by a " powerful " federal road in the 2 1 system, the B 190n, tethered in east-west direction on both highways. In this variant, arising together with the A 7 three parallel north-south - direction highways at intervals of about fifty kilometers. However, this variant allows for a large areal development of this sparsely populated and - by the German division conditionally - so far highway free region.
Come from the discussion, however, is in spite of a benefit-cost ratio ( BCR ) of 3.5, the G variant, which would also house the construction of the A14 between Magdeburg and Schwerin, but favored as integration of Lüneburg and Wolfsburg federal roads. The G variant had emerged in the bottom to top in 1995 as a traffic- best solution, but was rejected for political reasons in favor of the I variant (NAB 3.4 ).
Also in parallel to the main road 4 is expanded between Braunschweig and Lüneburg. The also registered for the urgent need bypasses between Lüneburg and Uelzen on the B 4 ( Melbeck = NAB 7.5 and Kirchweyhe NAB = 7.6 ) were downgraded on the grounds that the A 39 would relieve these places sustainable. The bypass Kirchweyhe is, however, now under construction and is expected to be released in April 2014 for traffic.
The A 14 according to the I variant was in April 2004, the regional planning process, which was completed in November 2004 with a preferred variant. On 11 October 2008, the route selection process has been completed and the route from the federal government largely approved. Overall, the 105 km -long pipeline comprises seven sections. By 2011, the preliminary draft should be ready. 2013 could be the plan approval process to be completed, so that in 2014 could start with the construction of the first section, unless the federal government provides matching funds.
On 3 November 2010, the A 250 was renamed as a continuation of the A39 to Hamburg ( Maschener cross) in A 39.
Controversies
Both the extension to Lüneburg as a whole but also the choice of paths in detail are in the region, partly in national politics, highly controversial.
Endorsed the project is mainly on the Commerce and Industry Chamber of Lüneburg- Wolfsburg, a " North Country motorway Club " as well as the citizens' initiative " PRO A39 eV ", which emerged from the SME associations of the adjoining counties. These have large parts of the CDU, SPD and FDP in the region and at the state level on their side, at the federal level, the then Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has gained admission to the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan. Among the best known proponents also includes the former Wolfsburg Mayor and forwarder Rolf Schnellecke. They bring to the project before that so that the transport of Braunschweig and Wolfsburg will shorten the port of Hamburg, there arises between Hamburg and Salzgitter an alternative to A 7 The crossed region will attractive for transportation intensive production and logistics businesses, local through traffic would be relieved. In addition the development is considered necessary to bring about the much needed relief to the A 7 and catch the rising port hinterland traffic for Hamburg. Find support the project by numerous medium-sized companies in Nordostniedersachsen that promise to improve economic conditions and improving infrastructure.
On the other hand, there are a number of community groups and environmental groups locally, regionally and nationally act environmental organizations such as the Bund and the Traffic Club Germany, however, as the Alliance 90/The Greens and members of other parties. They doubt the general economic benefits, also in comparison with significantly less expensive expansions as single bypasses. There are feared negative impact on tourism in the Ostheide not responsible for construction costs and land consumption. They also point to the opinion of their low traffic on the Elbe- Seiten Canal and the railway line Brunswick- Uelzen.
According to the results of the regional planning process, all paths a " high potential for conflict " on. Particularly controversial is the proposed expansion of the existing B 4 within Lüneburg. The so-called eastern bypass average already in constructing the residential area Moorfeld. In their planning ( zoning decision 1981) were objections from citizens, the route could be a portion of a later north-south motorway rejected as unfounded, the route is unsuitable for the development as a motorway. Meanwhile, a tunnel is planned in this section. Almost all of the other section traverses habitats, where many strictly protected species have been recorded. Specifically, these are the birds Kingfisher, Green Woodpecker, Woodlark, Red-backed Shrike, Black Woodpecker, Common Moorhen, and Kestrel; bat species noctule, brown long-eared, Serotine, Grey long-eared bat, Large and whiskered bat, mosquito bat, Nathusius' Pipistrelle, Daubenton's bat and pipistrelle; the moor frog and fish species Bitterling, bullhead and asp. Older documents also showed the river lamprey, which this time but could not be detected.
The conflict over an originally planned tank and roadhouse in Hohnstorf could be terminated by the city of Uelzen declared willingness to release for such a plant industrial land within the city limits. This, however, revealed that a further 17 acre resort between Jembke and Tappenbeck should be established, which led to protests there.
Other ideas / plans
For some time, there is also the idea / desire, A 39 west of Salzgitter - as relieving the A 2 - to extend in the direction of North Rhine -Westphalia and to connect them to either the A44 or the A33 in the area of Paderborn.
