Fiche récapitulative
Widening of a 25.5km section of the A6 motorway between Wiesloch-Rauenberg and Weinsberg (south of Heidelberg, north of Stuttgart) and maintenance of the overall section of 47.1km under a 30-year concession design, build, finance and operate contract (DBFO).
The project includes a 1.3km viaduct which crosses the Neckar Valley.
The main economic benefits will stem from reduced travel times and improved road safety thanks to enhanced road capacity.

The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project are tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2004/18/EC and/or 2004/17/EC as well as Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
