Germany motorway plan faces backlash as residents protest against the controversial expansion project.
A proposal to create Germany's biggest motorway has sparked a backlash, with critics fearful the"monstrosity" will increase climate-damaging emissions, worsen noise pollution and harm biodiverse habitats.
Hans Christoph Stoodt, from a campaign group fighting the plans, described the idea as"completely crazy", adding it would create a"monstrosity". The proposal was laid out in a feasibility study commissioned by state-owned Autobahn GmbH, which manages the country's motorways, and that was only released publicly in recent weeks under pressure from campaigners.The transport ministry in Berlin said the study does not represent a final decision and will only form part of its considerations.
Despite high barriers lining the side of the highway aimed at reducing noise, the constant rumbling of traffic is already above permitted levels and would only worsen with an extension, said Stoodt, whose group is called"It is too loud". In its conclusions, it finds that widening the section of the motorway to 10 lanes is the only option examined that would"achieve sufficient capacity" to cope with expected increases in traffic.
