Overview

  • Autobahn GmbH’s updated 2025–2029 plan reclassifies the A100 Section 17 as a non‑scheduled “further important planning project,” making a start before 2029/2030 unlikely.
  • An internal Transport Ministry paper reports nearly €15 billion missing for autobahn construction through 2029 and a €2.25 billion planning‑cost gap at Autobahn GmbH.
  • The company warns that construction approvals for 74 projects expected to reach binding building rights by 2029 depend on increased federal funding.
  • Berlin traffic senator Ute Bonde criticized the downgrade as budget‑driven and said she still expects the promised feasibility study by the end of the year.
  • Political reactions diverged as Greens pressed to scrap the A100 extension, the FDP called the move a heavy mistake, and a published cut list showed no approvals for projects including the A1 expansion and A445 in NRW under current finances.
