is a motorway in southern Germany, leading from the Austrian border (A14) near Lindau (Lake Constance) through Memmingen, Landsberg am Lech to Munich. Two European routes lead through the autobahn: E 43 and E 54.
It was first planned to build a direct connection between Munich and Lindau before World War II, south of Ammersee. During the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, a section from Munich to Oberpfaffenhofen and Germering was built. A 25km (16miles) part of the road during those games were used for the road team time trial cycling event.[1]
The last two-laned section, from Wangen-Nord to Leutkirch-Süd, was upgraded in 2009.
