course

The road begins in Scheifling at the foot of the Seetal Alps and first leads to Murau . Here it leaves the valley of the Mur and follows north of it the Rantental and the Seetal and Leißnitzbachtal on the southern edge of the Schladminger Tauern ( Murberge ) over the Schwarzenbichl (saddle of Seetal, approx.  1240  m ) to Tamsweg . There the road meets the Mur again, from where it follows it through the valley of Unternberg , and ends at the Tauern Autobahn (A 10) near Sankt Michael im Lungau ( Unterweißburg ).

The Styrian part is 40 km, the Salzburg part 30 km.

history

The road from Lind via Murau, Stadl and Predlitz was assigned to the first class district roads by the law of October 3, 1868. By a resolution of the Styrian state parliament on February 5, 1895, it was downgraded to a district road, 2nd class. On July 24, 1902, the Styrian state parliament decided to upgrade Murau-Seethaler Strasse from Murau via Ranten and Seebach to the Salzburg state border to become a first class district road.

The Styrian section between Scheifling and Murau or Predlitz was declared a rival road in 1926 . In Austrian legal language, competition refers to the joint financing of a project by various institutions. In this case, the state of Styria paid 70 percent of the construction costs, while the districts of Neumarkt, Oberwölz and Murau had to pay the remaining 30 percent of the construction costs themselves. Since April 1, 1938, this road was considered a state road.

The Upper Mur Valley Road (his term B96) belongs since April 1, 1948 the network of federal roads in Austria (Federal Highway A). With a length of 70 km, it originally led from Scheifling through the Mur Valley to Mauterndorf to Katschberg Strasse  (B 99).

The Mooshamer road between St. Michael and Tamsweg via Unterberg / Moosham, 11 km long, has been from January 1, 1950 Federal Highway C.

Since January 1, 1973, however , the Murtal Strasse has led via Ranten - Seetal to Tamsweg and from there, via the former Mooshamer Strasse, to St. Michael-Unterweißburg, to the then newly opened Tauern Autobahn. The old road through the uppermost Styrian Mur Valley has been called Murauer Straße  (B 97) since then . The section from Predlitz via Tamsweg to Mauterndorf, which had been a state road as Lungauer-Steiermärker Strasse since 1873, was taken to Turracher Strasse  (B 95), over the Turracherhöhe to Carinthia. At Tamsweg and St. Michael, the B 96 was therefore briefly shared with the B 95 and B 99 respectively.

The Judenburg-Thalheim / St. Peter - Scheifling was part of the Triester Reichsstraße , then until 1971 part of the B 17 Triester Straße . It belongs to Murtal Straße from 1971–1999, and then became Friesacher Straße  (B 317), over the Perchauersattel to Carinthia. That is why the kilometers of the B 96 begin in Scheifling with km 19.6.

The road was transferred from the federal government to the federal states of Salzburg and Styria as a state road in 2002.

In 2015, the double route with the B 95 in Tamsweg was adjusted, the B 96 now runs through the station and north through the town.
