A southern bypass from Feldkirchen, where the M 1 district road is extended to the Messestadt Riem, would not only bring advantages for the community: According to a study that the transport planner Helmuth Ammerl has now presented to the building committee of the Feldkirchen municipal council, the bypass would have a supraregional nature Significance and could significantly relieve the roads in the area.
With the construction of the southern bypass, Ammerl estimates that around 12,000 fewer vehicles would drive through Feldkirchen every day in 2035 than if the road were not built. A section of the A 94 would also be relieved: According to the forecast, there would be up to 7600 fewer vehicles per day between Feldkirchen and the trade fair city. Up to 2000 fewer cars would use State Road 2082 between Riem and Kirchheim every day. In a few places, however, the southern bypass would cause a slight increase in traffic, for example on a section of the A 99 and on the B 471 south of the roundabout between Feldkirchen and Haar.
Ikea plans and a bypass
For more than 20 years there have been demands in Feldkirchen to relieve the place by diverting traffic to the south around it. A southern bypass was last discussed in 2013 in connection with the plans for an Ikea settlement. When the project failed, the new road was also off the table. The reason: In a referendum, the people of Feldkirchen spoke out against an overall concept consisting of a furniture store and a bypass. The town hall administration therefore viewed the pursuit of a single measure from this package as critical.
In the election campaign last year, the southern bypass became a major issue again. Mayor Andreas Janson (Independent Voters’ Association, UWV) finally started talks with District Administrator Christoph Göbel (CSU). The hope of the Feldkirchner: If the bypass were important for the entire region, the district could possibly contribute to the costs. The district is currently having the bypass checked in a feasibility study.
