Expressway Potsdam-Schönefeld

The Expressway Potsdam-Schönefeld is the overarching term for a number of transport projects to create a single four-lane, primarily grade-separated highway from Potsdam to Schönefeld south of Berlin, Germany. The expressway plans were based on older East German plans. A route south of Berlin was strategically important, allowing traffic to run from Potsdam via Schönefeld to East Berlin without crossing West Berlin, thus allowing the construction of the Berlin Wall. The rail counterpart to this road link is the Berlin outer ring.
