Efficient Access to a World–Class Stadium

In addition, a multi-lane road was constructed between the junctions of the A9 and A99 motorways to connect the stadium with the multi-storey car park. To allow for intersection-free traffic, both carriageways were vertically offset.

Several other constructions were designed to ensure intersection-free traffic across the site, such as a 30m footbridge, built over the main road and allowing pedestrians to easily reach three car parks. All bridges have been designed to complement each other with recurring design features.

A flyover over the A9, A99 feeder road and Heisenberg-Allee ensure unobstructed access for emergency vehicles and ensure minimum motorway closure during its construction. We also developed a modular construction system for the superstructure.
