Bundesautobahn 6 (translates from German as Federal Motorway 6, short form Autobahn 6, abbreviated as BAB 6 or A 6), also known as Via Carolina is a 432 km (268 mi) long German autobahn. It starts at the French border near Saarbrücken in the west and end at the Czech border near Waidhaus in the east. Some parts in eastern Bavaria are incomplete, requring the use of smaller roads and the Bundesautobahn 93 to bridge the gap.
The first plans for the A6 were laid out in 1935, construction on several parts began in 1938. In 1940, construction near Mannheim was stopped when a bridge collapsed that was being built across the Rhine, killing many workers. A new bridge was opened in 1953. Other parts of the A6 were completed in 1941. A part near Kaiserslautern was used as an airstrip by the Luftwaffe during World War II. After the war, it was taken over by US forces and became the Ramstein Air Base, while the A6 was re-built south of the air base.
In the 1960s, construction was continued. One new section cut through the Hockenheimring, requiring a major redesign of the race track which resulted in the construction of the Motodrom stadium.
Much like its southern counterpart, the A 8, the A 6 is of relatively old age and has received little upgrading, making it difficult for it to handle today's traffic.
