Berlinka

The construction of the motorway was announced at the end of 1933 , and work began in the spring of next year. For the construction of motorways, German unemployed were used . On September 27, 1936, the first 113 km from Stettiner Dreieck (a suburb of Berlin) to Stettin-Süd (now Kolbaskovo ) came into operation. At the same time, work was going on at the opposite end of the route - from Königsberg to Elblлонg . In 1937, the Königsberg site (now Kaliningrad ), starting from the Palburg bridge , was commissioned - Elbing-Ost (Elblбg). A year later, the motorway continued bypass roads around Szczecin and Elblлонg.

Berlin, as part of the Polish corridor, was the occasion for the outbreak of World War II . After the outbreak of war, work continued for some more time from Berlin.

The autobahn remained unfinished (only two concrete lanes of the road and bridges were built within the current Kaliningrad region, although the territory was prepared for pouring two more lanes).

Now sections of the road are located in Germany , Poland and the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation .

• Germany: Freeway (Bundesautobahn / Bundesavtoban) A11
• Poland: A6 motorway, express road 6/3, Voivodship 142, national road 22, express road 22
• Russia: highway 27 OP RZ 27A-003- (RE 1A) Kaliningrad-Mamonovo II (Novosyolovo settlement) - the border of the Republic of Poland

After the war, the Russian part of the road was underutilized, since it bypasses settlements and rests on the state border (there was no border crossing until 2010 ). Since 1992, work began on the reconstruction of the road starting from the street. Dzerzhinsky, stretched due to irregular funding, until the end of 2006. During this period, work was completed on the dismantling of all the German overpasses crossing the highway. From the beginning of the route to the intersection with the Ladushkin-Kornevo-Donskoye highway (25 km), on the right side there is a widened roadbed on which pavement with modern asphalt concrete pavement is built (with the exception of the bridge at km 22 + 600). When approaching the bridge at km 22 + 600, which has its own name - “Devil's Bridge”, the traffic switched to the old bridge, pre-war, destroyed during the Great Patriotic War and rebuilt in the 60s of the last century, and further, before the intersection Kornevo-Ladushkin, traffic is on the right roadway. In the area from km 25 + 000 to the end of the road (km 39 + 500), the cement concrete pavement was repaired, culverts were rebuilt. In 2009, before the construction of the Mamonovo 2 multilateral checkpoint across the state border of the Russian Federation, on the right side of the axis of the route, accumulation (distribution) 4 lanes for leaving the Kaliningrad Region were built for 1 kilometer, and 2 cement concrete strips existing at that time - stayed at the entrance to the region. In connection with the opening on the border of the Kaliningrad region on December 7, 2010, the Mamonovo 2 - Gzhehotki border crossing, with a throughput of 4,000 cars per day, including 150 buses, 2,600 passenger cars and 1,250 trucks ^[1] , there is a natural steady increase in intensity automobile and passenger-and-freight transit traffic in Berlin, in connection with which, since mid-2013, with the financial support of the Russian Federation and the European Union, a new Devil’s Bridge has been under construction directly under the cross-border program along the axis of the modern road.

In Poland, until 2006, this road was also not used much, but after the reconstruction, it is connected with the route Szczecin - Gdansk - Elblag .

The A11 Autobahn is 109.9 kilometers long and leads from the Polish border to the ring road around Berlin.
