Bundesautobahn 516(translates fromGermanasFederal Motorway 516,short formAutobahn 516,abbreviated asBAB 516orA 516) is anautobahninGermany.

The A 516 branches off theA 3towards the center of Oberhausen. The northern terminus of the A 516 is also the western terminus of theA 2.After a 5 km journey, the autobahn is downgraded to theB 223just after the junctionOberhausen-Eisenheim,500 m short of theA 42.This is because the junction with the A 42 is not designed as a free-flowing autobahn-to-autobahn junction; rather, it is essentially adiamond interchangewith one folded ramp.

The speed limit for the entirety of the A 516 is 100 km/h. The limit is reduced to 80 km/h nightly between 22:00 and 6:00. Traffic heading toCentrOon the weekends and around the holiday season regularly creates backups of up to 2 km.
