course

The B 67 is on the former main road (from Vienna) to Trieste . Before the completion of the A 9 , it was often one of the largest traffic jams in Austria during the holiday season, especially in addition to heavy transit traffic due to holiday traffic and guest workers from Germany and Austria who went on vacation to Yugoslavia , Greece or Turkey . Today it is the Austrian federal highway with the heaviest truck loads (also because of the many companies that are involved in it in the southern outskirts of Graz).

history

Since 1825 the Trieste Commerzial-Hauptstraße no longer runs through Ehrenhausen and over the Platschberg, but on today's route via Spielfeld and the Zirknitz Valley , after Emperor Franz I approved an amount of 23,823 guilders for the new construction of this road on March 18, 1824 .

The Triesterstraße one of the former imperial roads that have been adopted by the Federal Law of July 8, 1921 as national roads. Until 1938 the Triester Straße south of Bruck was designated as the B 21, after the connection of Austria the Triester Straße was led as part of the Reichsstraße 95 until 1945 .

Since April 1, 1948, the street between Bruck an der Mur and Spielfeld was called Grazer Straße .

When, in the fourth quarter of 2015, more than 1,000 refugees per day rushed into Austria on foot, the crossing was closed to motor vehicles authorized to use the autobahn for a period of around 2 months. These were diverted via the nearby motorway, which for this purpose was exempted from the Austrian vignette requirement until the first exit in Austria . After the establishment of a control system for refugees with container rooms, barriers and a tent with the possibility of forming groups of people the size of the capacity of coaches and the partial erection of a border fence in the vicinity, the border crossing was provisional again on December 29, 2015 - from 6 am to 10 pm for 10 days - open to vehicles.
