Building stop to A143? Vogt calls for a quick further construction for Halle!

Halle (Saale), Deutschland - in Halle (Saale) the future of the Autobahn 143 (A143) currently ensures plenty of conversation. Reports on an impending freeze due to a lack of budgetary remedies ensure uncertainty among road users and the urban population. Mayor Dr. Alexander Vogt is concerned and emphasizes the urgency of the rapid further construction of the A143 in order not to reduce through traffic and not to endanger a large urban planning project. The [Hallanzeiger] (https://www.hallanzeiger.de/aktuelle_lokale_nachrichten/18-07-2025- Oberbuermeister-Vogt-Zueger-Bau-Bau-a-A-i-iT-Alternative) reports that the A143 is an important connection between the A38 motorways in the west and A14 in the north.

The central route that currently leads through the city area ensures large traffic on Riebeckplatz. The square is a needle for several thousands of vehicles daily, including a high number of trucks. This situation is reinforced by the completion of the future center for German unity and European transformation at Riebeckplatz. Dr. Vogt emphasizes how crucial the relief of the Riebeckplatz is for the development of a living urban space.

important infrastructure for hall

The gap in the A143 is considered without an alternative to strengthen the connection of Halle as a top center in Saxony-Anhalt and the European metropolitan region of Central Germany. The A143 is intended to ensure that traffic jams in the north of the city, which often occur in accidents on the A14, are avoided. According to the forecasts of Autobahn GmbH, up to 47,000 vehicles will be expected in 24 hours between Halle-Neustadt and the future Halle-Nord motorway triangle. Currently, the nationally long section from Halle-Süd to Halle-Neustadt has been in operation since 2004, while the northern part has been under construction since 2019.

All of these developments have a clear connection: The construction of the A143 is to better connect the western districts of Halles to the motorway network, including Dölau and Lettin. These improvements will not only increase accessibility, but also reduce environmental impact on traffic.

environmental and nature conservation in focus

summarized it remains to be seen: Halle faces an important infrastructural challenge. The rapid continuation of the A143 is of central importance for the city, which must improve its transport connections and at the same time take into account the environmental issues. Dr. Vogt makes it clear that the further construction of the highway is essential for the development of Halle.
