The Bundesstraße 76 is a German federal road or Bundesstraße and the northeast–southwest link between (formerly Flensburg), Schleswig, Kiel and Lübeck in the eastern part of the state of Schleswig-Holstein.
The B 76 used to begin at the German-Danish border at Flensburg. Due to the construction of the A 7 motorway the section between Flensburg and Schleswig was downgraded to a state road. The B 76 bypasses Schleswig on the left side and has junctions with the B 201 at the north and the B 77 at the south where the main carriageway continues towards Rendsburg. The route continues towards Eckernförde where it meets the B 203. At Gettorf the route extends to a dual carriageway and crosses the Kiel Canal via the Levensau High Bridge. At Kiel the route acts as the local motorway. It has interchanges with the B 503, A 215, B 404 and the B 502. At Schwentinental the dual carriageway ends. Afterwards it bypasses Preetz and at Plön it crosses the B 430. After it bypasses Eutin the Route is interrupted by the A 1 motorway at Haffkrug. At Scharbeutz the route continues again and goes through Timmendorfer Strand untin it finally ends in Travemünde with a junction with the B 75.[1]
