A79 motorway (Netherlands)
- A79 motorway (Netherlands)
The A79 motorway is a motorway in the Netherlands. It is located entirely in the Dutch province of Limburg.
The road is 17 kilometer in length. The A79 motorway connects A2 motorway at the interchange Kruisdonk with Valkenburg, the A76 motorway at interchange Kunderberg, and the city of Heerlen.
No European routes follow the A79 motorway.
Incomplete connections
The A79 features several incomplete connections or interchanges. Interchange Kruisdonk can only be used by traffic between the A79 and the southern part of the A2. Traffic from/towards the northern part of the A2 has to use local roads.
Also exit 3 is incomplete; westbound traffic cannot exit the motorway at this point. To free the town of Valkenburg from traffic which is forced to use exit 4, the municipality is currently trying to get the government to create an offramp for westbound traffic.
Finally, also interchange Kunderberg does not feature all relations. In fact, it can only be used by drivers between the western part of the A79 and the southern part of the A76. Drivers between the A76 and the town of Heerlen as well as drivers between the A79 and the northern part of the A76 are forced to use the N281 road to get to their destinations.
