The Avtocesta A2 ( Slovenian for 'A2 motorway'), also called Gorenjsko-dolenjska avtocesta (Slov. For 'Upper Carniola-Lower Carniola Motorway'), is the second longest motorway in Slovenia . Within Slovenia, the A2 connects Kranj and Novo mesto to the central area of Ljubljana / Ljubljana , and beyond the borders of the country it connects Villach with the Croatian capital Zagreb .

While Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia , this route was part of the Autoput Bratstvo i jedinstvo and had the number 1. As in Croatia , another motorway was given this number after the fall of Yugoslavia. The Pluska - Hrastije (near Trebnje) section was opened to traffic on June 30, 2010. This section is 14.8 km long and replaces one of the most dangerous roads. On the previous H1, 550 accidents with 39 deaths had occurred in the previous six years. The Peracica-Podbrezje section (2nd lane) was completed on October 28, 2011 after several delays.

This means that the A 2 between Ljubljana and Zagreb is consistently four-lane. After the opening of the Peracica-Podbrezje section (2nd lane) on October 28, 2011, the A2 from the Karawanken tunnel via Ljubljana to the Slovenian-Croatian border crossing Obrezje / Bregana is four lanes with the exception of the single-tube Karawanken tunnel.
