from AS Bramsche to AS Osnabrück-North was on 29 October 2010 six lanes released for traffic, the section between AS Osnabrück-Nord and AK Lotte / Osnabrück in summer 2007. Due to bridge damage in 2011 between the junction Osnabrück-Hafen and the Kreuz Lotte / Osnabrück one lane per travel direction is permanently blocked. Between Osnabrück and Dortmund, the highway is four-lane expanded. Only a short section per direction between Osnabrück and Münster, as well as the section between Münster-Nord, via the Münster-Süd intersection to the junction Münster-Hiltrup, is already six-lane. Between the Kamener Kreuz and Kreuz Köln-West the motorway is mostly six lane. The remaining gaps are under construction. From motorway junction Erftstadt to intersection Bliesheim, the A 1 runs together with the A 61. In this area, the highway has six lanes. The Autobahn route 1, ends at Blankenheim, where the end of the highway has been on the Kelberg junction since 31 May 2012. Since then, no section is under construction but is being planned for closing the gap over the north-eastern edge of Eifel. On 4 May 2012, the state government of North-Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) approved the plan for the first missing section from Blankenheim to Lommersdorf. The plan amendments are to be closed in 2018. Later on, there are additional three lanes in several uphill sections. The motorway ends immediately after the junction 150, Saarbrücken-Burbach, is called from there federal road 268 and goes after 600 m in the street-level development of Saarbrücken. Plans The A 1 is currently the focused of expansion activities to the federal government. In the extreme north, the Baltic Sea coast is connected. Throughout the congested area between Hamburg and Cologne, basic renovations and almost continuous expansion to at least three strips per direction and the development of many crossings and junctions have either recently been completed, under construction or in planning. In the Eifel, the gap is closed for another 28 kilometers (as of 31 May 2012). Northern extension and the Fehmarnbelt link In Ostholstein, the extension of the A 1 has reached Heiligenhafen-Ost. In connection with the construction of the Fixed Link across the Fehmarnbelt, there are also plans to expand the existing Federal Highway 207 as an extension of the A 1 between Heiligenhafen-Ost and Puttgarden in four lanes. This section of the hinterland connection is approximately 22 kilometers long and classified in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2003
