On the morning <strong>of</strong> 4th August, two large<strong>boom</strong><br />

concrete pumps arrived at the <strong>Neufahrn</strong><br />

motorway junction north <strong>of</strong> Munich<br />

– one M 58-5 from Berger Beton and one<br />

M 6 -6 from BFM Betonförderdienst in<br />

Munich.<br />

A sunny, almost autumnal day announces<br />

itself with hazy, mild air and single wisps<br />

<strong>of</strong> low cloud. <strong>The</strong> weather will stay beautiful<br />

– perfect for the planned 4-hour<br />

concreting that is due to take place today.<br />

One notices the men on the construction<br />

site are in a good mood – the best prerequisite<br />

for starting the work and for the<br />

challenging task that lies ahead <strong>of</strong> them.<br />

Narrow junction at <strong>Neufahrn</strong><br />

This structure, which, when viewed from<br />

above, looks like a fl atly pressed four-leaf<br />

clover, can no longer cope with today‘s traffi c<br />

volumes. Two national motorways intersect<br />

at the <strong>Neufahrn</strong> junction – the A 9 and the<br />

A 92. Along with the Munich motorway<br />

ringroad (A 99) and the A 8 Ulm-Munich-<br />

Salzburg, the A 9 is the most important north-south<br />

route, especially for domestic and<br />

international commercial and holiday traffi c.<br />

<strong>The</strong> A 92 connects the state capital <strong>of</strong> Munich<br />

with its airport and is also important<br />

for Eastern European traffi c.<br />
