Bundesautobahn 93 (commonly abbreviated A 93) is a designated, but as yet unrealised, German federal motorway (Bundesautobahn). It was included in the national highway planning system as a prospective north‑south route intended to improve connections between the Bavarian city of Nuremberg and the Czech border.
Status
- To date, no sections of the A 93 have been constructed, opened to traffic, or incorporated into the existing autobahn network.
- The route remains listed only in planning documents; its implementation has been postponed indefinitely due to a combination of financial, environmental, and regional‑development considerations.
Planned alignment (general outline)
- The envisaged corridor would have started near the A 9/A 6 interchange close to Nuremberg, extending northeast through Upper Franconia.
- The northern terminus was planned to reach the Czech border, providing a direct high‑capacity link to the Czech road network.
Context
- In Germany, the “Bundesautobahn” designation is assigned to federal motorways that are either in operation or formally approved in the national transport plan.
- A 93 is an example of a “planned” autobahn that has not progressed beyond the pre‑construction phase.
