This section has been fallow since 2014. In 2014, the new section of the A4 was connected to the existing A4. RWE covered 70 million of the 153 million construction costs.
Since then, nature has been taking back what once belonged to it.

The photo still shows the smooth asphalt surface, which was very easy to drive on. In the meantime, the smooth surface was pitted and it vibrated when driving. Today in June 2023 only a layer of gravel remains. Nature will now take back this route. But still accessible with MTB or trekking bike.
