On 24 July 2003, a new €292m motorway linking Luxembourg to the Saarland in Germany opened. A year later, the Frisange slip road was completed, along with the entire section of the A13 linking the Bettembourg exchange and Perl across the border. However, it is only 17 and a half years later that it is finally about to open.

A Luxembourg court in January brought to an end the dispute between the state and Fernand Friederich, a farmer who said he owns the land on which the bypass was built. 

Fallen into disrepair over the years, the stretch of motorway was refurbished starting in May and will finally open on 6 June. This will allow motorists to access the motorway in Frisange, rather than having to drive to a roundabout near Mondorf-les-Bains.
