History
The route from Wels West to Suben has already been completed in the 1980s. The last 11 kilometers from the node Voralpenkreuz to Wels -West ( the Welser Westspange ) were opened in 2003 after it was years of construction delays, as environmental concerns had to be taken into account. The openings in Detail: 1982: Catfish Pichl. 1983: Suben - border FRG. 1985: Ried - Suben. 1985: Ried - Walchshausen. 1987: Pichl- Gallspach. 1988: Gallspach - Hague. 1990: Hague - Ried. 2003: Sattledt Catfish. The motorway junction catfish has a so-called TOTSO traffic management. To continue on from Passau towards Voralpenkreuz you have to leave the main road, as the A8 which here flows directly into the A25.
Motorway junction at Ried
The connection point Ried is designed as a highway node. This is an input for an unrealized planning a highway from Munich via Simbach Braunau and Ried, the (S9 ) should be performed on the Austrian side as Innviertler expressway. The German side titled as Federal Motorway 94 range is available only as a fragment to this day. In the meantime, Austria decided to not to burden the region by transit traffic, which the original plan was ultimately abandoned. The highway would have significantly reduced the travel time between Vienna and Munich without going through Salzburg. Newer plans on the German side provide the to bind to the motorway A94 3 just before the Austrian border at Pocking.
