Map of the interchange

The Wiesbadener Kreuz is a full cloverleaf interchange near the Hessian state capital of Wiesbaden in Germany where the Autobahnen A3 and A66 meet. It lies in the municipality of Hofheim. The interchange was opened in 1939 and was one of the first interchanges in Germany.

Used by approximately 190,000 vehicles per day, it is one of the most frequented interchanges in Hesse and Germany.[1]

The portion of the A3 between the Wiesbadener Kreuz and Kreuz Fürth/Erlangen is traditionally one of the most congested sections of Autobahn in Germany.[2]

Between 2016 and 2018, the interchange will be upgraded and improved to avoid the daily congestions during the rush hour.[3]
