in particular the Habitats and Birds Directive. Three parts still have to be built: from Blankenheim junction (near Tondorf) to Lommersdorf junction: the planning approval procedure has been in progress for this 6-kilometer stretch since May 2012. from the Lommersdorf interchange to the Adenau interchange: An update of the draft design is in progress for the 9-kilometer section. from the junction Adenau to the junction Kelberg: For the almost 11-kilometer section from the junction Adenau to the junction Kelberg approved the Federal Ministry of Transport in August 2014, the preliminary draft. The costs are estimated at a total of about 320 million euros. In 2017 [outdated] the disclosure of the planning documents should be made. Especially in Rhineland-Palatinate, there were at times disagreements between the coalition partners of the state government regarding the further construction. All three sections are listed in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 as a priority requirement. The area is fairly sparsely populated, and for longer drives between cities along A 1 such as Köln and Saarbrücken, a route along the A48 and A61 is available, so the demand is not so high. For driving between Blankenheim and Kelberg, the curvy route B258 can be used. At Saarbrücken On the Saarbrücken urban area is planned, the A 1 to the West Spangenbrücke, d. H. to the city highway A 620, to extend. Between the junctions SB-Von-der-Heydt and SB-Burbach a connection to the A 623 near the junction SB-Ludwigsberg is to be created, formerly also referred to as pivoting. However, for environmental reasons, this section was only listed with two lanes with oncoming traffic as a project with a special nature conservation planning mandate in urgent need in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030. In the course of the existing four-lane Camphauser road as a continuation of the A 623 from the junction Ludwigsberg and then the piece of the B 268 to the West Spangenbrücke autobahnmäßig, d. H. be provided with central separation and without parallel intersections, expanded and then upgraded to A 1. However, the realization of this project has so far not been promoted. On 1 June 2013, the preliminary planning began. The Fernstraßenausbaugesetz contains a four-lane new building as an additional requirement with planning rights.
