Map of the A 8 in Germany

Bundesautobahn 8 (BAB 8 or A 8) is an Autobahn that runs 497 km (309 mi) from the Luxembourg border through southern Germany to Austrian border near Salzburg. The A 8 is a significant East-West transit route. Its construction began during Nazi rule. Although parts have been modernized and extended after WW II, significant sections remained in their original condition from the 1930s - 2+2 lanes, no emergency or acceleration lanes, steep hills and tight curves. In combination with today's traffic this makes the A 8 one of the most crowded and dangerous Autobahns in Germany. Especially in the wintertime the slopes of Swabian Alb and Black Forest become bottlenecks when heavy trucks crawl uphill.

[edit] Future plans

As of 2006, a gap remains between Pirmasens and Karlsruhe with no immediate plans to close the gap. Additionally, a sub-standard section between Aichelberg and Hohenstadt is being re-routed with a projected 2010 completion date. It is proposed that tolls be charged on this tunnel-oriented replacement stretch (presumably to cover the costs of the project), which would make it the first tolled section of a German autobahn.
