Road construction - Wissing: Continue building the A20 as quickly as possible
Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) will commence new motorways despite tight budget situation. "In particular, the A20 in Schleswig-Holstein is a crucial motorway project, which I want to start as soon as possible," said Wissing. "We are working under pressure to obtain the necessary building permits." The Federal Government continues to invest record levels in transport infrastructure despite the budget situation. Recently, there were doubts about the planned further development of the coastal motorway in Northern Germany.
Previously, the northern German economy and the Schleswig-Holstein CDU had called for a commitment from the Federal Government to continue the project. The A20 has ended for years east of Segeberg in the middle of Schleswig-Holstein. The route should bypass Hamburg to the west and lead to Lower Saxony through a new Elbe tunnel.
