If you put Baden to Konstanz into Google Maps the second route it will show you (A7) takes you through Wislikofen and Embrach to Winterthur where you join the highway. I used to take that road when I was visiting a relative who was recovering at the lakeside after an operation. It moved quite well although I could imagine there being jams around the big roundabout just after the highway stretch at Glattfelden and again near Embrach. Also mind the speed cameras in Rorbas.
