A5 motorway (Netherlands)
- A5 motorway (Netherlands)
The A5 motorway is a motorway in the Netherlands. With a length of only 7 kilometers, it is one of the shortest motorways in the country.
The A5 serves as a connection between the A4 motorway at the (incomplete) interchange De Hoek and the A9 motorway at the interchange Raasdorp. The road was opened at November 8th 2003 and was built to relieve the A4 motorway near the exit to Schiphol Airport and the Schipholtunnel underneath the same airport. Also the busy intersection Badhoevedorp between the A4 and A9 motorways was relieved from traffic by the opening of the A5.
The entire A5 motorway does not have any regular exits. The only object one comes across when driving on the road, is a short tunnel (the Rolbaantunnel) underneath the section connecting Schiphol Airport's "Polderbaan" runway (the most western runway of Schiphol) to the rest of the airport. Directly parallel to the A5 motorway, on its east, is another runway, the "Zwanenburgbaan".
Future extension
According to current plans, the A5 motorway will be extended from the northern terminus, interchange Raasdorp, towards the A10 motorway, to which it is to be connected just south of the interchange Coenplein and the Coentunnel.
