DEU-HE: A44 opening Waldkappel - Sontra-West

[michih]

A new 12km long section of A44 is announced to be opened on 2024-12-09 (source).
B7 between A44's exit Waldkappel and A44's exit Ringgau was already removed from the latest toll tablee valid from Oct 1st. B27 was also removed from the toll table between its junction with B452 and A44's Ringgau exit. (see here). I don't know the new dedication of the former B7 and B27 sections. B7 will likely be a state road but I don't know if L3334 or partially L3459. I've no idea about the B27 section.

I'll likely only open A44 in six weeks and keep the B road as-is till OSM will be updated (or I find any info e.g. on a field check).

Keeping open till we know the numbering of the downgraded B roads.

Edit 2025-02-09: Traveled A44 and downgraded B7/B27 today. km posts on the latter do still indicate B numbers.

The B27 between Ringgau exit and south of Wichmannshausen is now dedicated as B400 (was B27): https://www.autobahn-online.de/phorum/read.php?5,194628,203152#msg-203152

According to OSM, B7 is dedicated as L3459 and K88 now. OSM is wrong about the segment between Oetmannshausen and B452 though, it's B27, see above. B27 is dedicated as K88 or K89 now.
