Editing Jena (section)

==== By road ====
The two [[German autobahns|Autobahnen]] crossing each other nearby at ''Hermsdorf junction'' are the [[Bundesautobahn 4]] (Frankfurt–Dresden) and the [[Bundesautobahn 9]] (Berlin–Munich), which were both built during the 1930s. The A 4 runs quite next to the Lobeda housing complexes and the Leutra district. Therefore, it was rebuilt in the 2000s and got two tunnels to protect the residents and the environment against noise and air pollution. Furthermore, there are two [[Bundesstraße]]n crossing in Jena: the [[Bundesstraße 7]] is a connection to [[Weimar]] in the west and [[Gera]] in the east and the [[Bundesstraße 88]] is a connection along Saale valley to [[Naumburg (Saale)|Naumburg]] in the north and [[Rudolstadt]] in the south. Furthermore, there are some roads to [[Apolda]] via Isserstedt, [[Blankenhain]] via Ammerbach and [[Stadtroda]] via Lobeda. Most parts of city centre inside the former walls are pedestrian areas.
