Service Description

If you want to build or modify freeways or federal highways under federal administration, you need the approval of the Federal Highway Authority (FBA).

Freeways and federal highways under federal administration are federal trunk roads. These are subject to special regulations.

You may only build or modify federal trunk roads if you have received prior approval from the Federal Highway Authority (FBA). Your project is examined in the planning law procedure. To do this, you submit an application to the FBA.

Federal trunk roads include in particular

  • the carriageway
  • the road substructure
  • the bridges, tunnels, culverts, embankments, ditches, drainage systems, embankments, retaining walls, noise protection systems, hard shoulders and separation areas
  • traffic and protective facilities
  • planting
  • wall installations
  • farmsteads
  • ancillary facilities and rest areas on federal highways

Structural changes can be, for example

  • Widening of highways by one or more lanes
  • New exits, highway interchanges
  • Changes to the route, for example tunnels

During the planning approval process, the public and private interests affected by the project are assessed, including

  • the effective improvement of traffic conditions
  • protection of the population from noise and air pollution
  • environmental compatibility
  • economic efficiency
  • compatibility with regional planning
  • the rights and interests of third parties

Responsibility

The FBA is the competent consultation and planning approval authority for freeways, unless the construction project is located in the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse and Hamburg. The FBA is also responsible for construction projects on federal highways under the responsibility of the federal government in the federal states of Berlin and Bremen.
