Bundesautobahn 61 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 61, short form Autobahn 61, abbreviated as BAB 61 or A 61) is an autobahn in Germany that connects the border to the Netherlands near Venlo in the northwest to the interchange with A 6 near Hockenheim. In 1965, this required a re-design of the Hockenheimring.
The autobahn runs parallel to the A 3 on the opposite side of the Rhine. Between Mönchengladbach and Bergheim in the north and Ludwigshafen and Speyer in the south it cuts through the landscapes of Eifel and Hunsrück, avoiding areas of dense population while still in proximity to Cologne, Bonn, Koblenz and Bingen.
The A 61, built in the 1970s, is the westernmost connection from the Netherlands and Belgium to southern Germany. Consequently, a significant number of trucks and tourists from these countries frequents the A 61.
The section between the junctions Wanlo and Jackerath was upgraded to three lanes in 2005. This was paid for by RWE Power who in return received permission to close a section of A 44 for their brown coal mining operation. By the year 2017, the A 44 will be restored and the Wanlo-Jackerath-section of the A 61 will be closed instead.
