Bundesautobahn 24 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 24, short form Autobahn 24, abbreviated as BAB 24 or A 24) is an autobahn in northern Germany that connects the large metropolitan regions of Hamburg and Berlin. It was one of the three transit access roads to West Berlin during the Cold War.
[edit] History
Planning for the autobahn began as far back as the 1930s; before World War II numerous bridges and sections of roadside shoulder were built between Hamburg and Berlin. The German divide, however, put a hold on further work and it wasn't before 1978 that construction was resumed, carried out by a GDR work force and paid for by West Germany. In 1982 the A24 could finally be opened. Most pre-war bridges could not be used, however, and were replaced by new construction.
