The south autobahn A 2 is a autobahn in Austria . It leads from Vienna via the Wechsel , past Graz and Klagenfurt to the state border with Italy at Arnoldstein and on as the Italian A 23 ("Alpe-Adria-Autobahn") to Tarvisio , Pontebba , Udine and Palmanova . Construction began in the 1960s. The last section between Völkermarkt-West and Klagenfurt-Ost was opened in 1999. With a length of 377.3 km (including feeders) it is the longest Austrian motorway.

history

Last opened section between Grafenstein and Völkermarkt Ost

The basic course of the A 2 was already partially planned as route 127 (Villach - Klagenfurt - Graz) and 128 (Graz - Wiener Neustadt - Vienna) of the Reichsautobahn during the time of National Socialism . The course of this planning route corresponded very much to the current course of the Autobahn and also included a connection to the West Autobahn , which was similar to today's Allander Autobahn . As can be seen on American aerial photographs of the destroyed aero-engine works in Ostmark and the Vöslau airport, the route in these sections was already laid out and leveled in 1944.

On May 6, 1959, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction near Laxenburg took place and on May 26, 1962, the first section of the A 2 between Vösendorf and Leobersdorf was opened. By 1975, the section between Vienna and Seebenstein was complete.

Before that, however, the first motorway in Styria had already been opened: the A 2 between Gleisdorf and Raaba (now the Graz Ost junction) on December 13, 1969.

In the following year, the first motorway in Carinthia was opened. The section between Pörtschach and Villach was the first in Carinthia. At the time when the autobahn was used as an island autobahn without junctions, the section between Villach and Pörtschach, and later Klagenfurt , was called the Wörthersee autobahn . The most recently completed section of the A 2 is also in Carinthia: on November 25, 1999, the A 2 was completed with the opening of the Völkermarkt West – Klagenfurt East section .

A special feature in Austria is the fact that the motorway between Vienna and the Seebenstein junction and between Gleisdorf and Mooskirchen has already been built with three lanes in each direction. Apart from the Vienna Südosttangente A 23 and the Pyhrn A 9 motorway in the Graz area , the A 2 is the only motorway where this was the case. The Vienna – Wiener Neustadt section was even planned to have six lanes during the Nazi era. Between Gleisdorf and the Graz West junction, the hard shoulder was built very narrow due to the unusually wide carriageway at the time; this is still the case today between Gleisdorf and the Graz East junction, but breakdown bays were opened at short intervals in the course of the general renovation in the years 2007 to 2010 cultivated.

Expansion, lanes

Between Vienna and Leobersdorf is located next to the Vienna Southeast tangent A 23, the only eight-lane area in Austria. The expansion became necessary when the final decision was made against building the A 3 south-east motorway to Vienna. The southeast autobahn now joins the A 2 at the Guntramsdorf junction. In October 2012, the eight-lane expansion between Baden and Kottingbrunn was opened, meaning that the A 2 between Vienna and Kottingbrunn has four lanes in each direction. In the course of this expansion, a new Bad Vöslau junction was built, which was completed in 2011. The next step is to completely refurbish the section between Leobersdorf and Wiener Neustadt .

Most of the autobahn was originally designed as two lanes with a reduced lane width and a partially reduced hard shoulder, which is why it was derisively referred to as the “economy autobahn”.

Change section

While the tour from Vienna to Wiener Neustadt was undisputed, the continuation to Styria was very controversial in the late 1960s, a tour via Central Burgenland to Graz-Gleisdorf seemed possible , which would have been a great advantage, especially for the Burgenland commuters, or the shorter but technically more difficult route over the change . Ultimately, the decision was made in 1969 for the Wechsel route, then called " Oismüller - Sekanina route". The construction phase Grimmenstein - Friedberg was then completed in just 36 months between 1982 and 1985, despite difficult geological conditions. A route with relatively steep gradients and small curve radii was accepted for this route. In combination with the often difficult weather conditions, the transition section is considered to be quite accident-prone.

Eastern Styria

The route between Hartberg and Graz- Gleisdorf was initially only built on the route of the Vienna carriageway and operated with two-way traffic. The half-expansion carried out under Building Minister Sekanina was designed as a four-lane road with no central division and no hard shoulder. The 42-kilometer section was fully expanded after numerous serious traffic accidents, which were partly caused by the lack of structural separation of the lanes. In the course of the expansion to a motorway cross-section, the existing bridges Bad Waltersdorf, Arnwiesen and Lahnbach crossings were supplemented by a second one.

Packing section

The original plans for the packing section are a specialty for Austria. The packing section is the motorway over the Packalpe between the Mooskirchen and Packsattel junctions .

The pack section between Mooskirchen and Modriach , which was initially only built on the uphill route, as well as the section between Bad St. Leonhard and Wolfsberg Nord , was also built as a Sparautobahn . The construction work dragged on for ten years.

The old motorway area, on which four lanes without a hard shoulder represented the entire motorway in the past, was planned as a lane towards Italy . After the Herzogberg Tunnel , the directional carriageway in Vienna should change to the left side of the motorway as seen by the driver and lead down into the valley in an area that is sometimes relatively far separated from the other directional lane. A completely different route, more adapted to the terrain, was also planned. The idea behind this planning was that small inclines should be made possible only for traffic traveling uphill, and especially heavy traffic. The downhill traffic was faced with a more winding, steeper route.

When the volume of traffic increased in the 1990s and the expansion became more and more necessary, the decision was made to build the second carriageway next to the already completed one. The reasons for this were that one would destroy the least of nature along the route that was already in use and one lane could be used as a construction lane. This also made the complex construction of special construction roads superfluous. However, many bridges and anchor walls had to be built. In the course of this expansion, the single-tube Herzogberg and Gräbern tunnel received a second tube, also the Assingberg short tunnel, and a second bridge was built at the Lavant valley crossing. The expansion of the packing section to a full autobahn was completed in Styria at the end of June 2007 (released on June 28) and in Carinthia at the beginning of December 2007.

Connection points

A new junction was built between Wiener Neudorf and the Guntramsdorf junction to connect the industrial center of Lower Austria South . While the negotiations and planning dragged on for many years, the building was completed in a relatively short time at the beginning of December 2008. It was not only financed by ASFINAG and the state of Lower Austria, but also by Eco Plus and local companies. This relieves the junction in Wiener Neudorf, above all, from heavy traffic.

In 2009 the previous semi-connection point in Traiskirchen was expanded to become a full connection point.

In Carinthia, a further Völkermarkt-Mitte junction was planned between Völkermarkt- East and Völkermarkt-West , which would connect the B 82 Seeberg Straße directly to the motorway. By decision of March 31, 2017, the Ministry of Transport decided that no environmental impact assessment was required. As early as 2015, however, it became apparent that the project would probably no longer be realized due to the poor cost-benefit ratio.

Motorway feeder

The Süd Autobahn has two feeder roads : Graz East and Klagenfurt West. These streets each have their own junctions and are therefore their own motorways. Nevertheless, these feeders are considered part of the A2. Although both are built pretty much the same, the history of the two is completely different.

Graz

A long exposure of the south autobahn near Graz

The Graz Ost motorway slip road was originally planned as the S 39, but was never renamed the S 39.

Until 2005 the feeder led to Graz- Liebenau . With the construction of the Murpark shopping center and a P + R facility directly at the feeder, the desire for a separate junction and a tram connection was expressed . The decision was therefore made to bring the end of the Graz Ost motorway feeder forward and to build a traffic light-controlled intersection at the earlier end of “Sternäckerweg”. The street from Murpark to Merkur Arena , which was previously part of the feeder, was named "Liebenauer Tangente".

In September 2012, construction work began on the “reconstruction of the Graz Ost motorway junction”: ASFINAG and the state of Styria converted the feeder junction to a full connection by autumn 2013. The Unterkirchbacherstraße B 73 and the Raabastraße L370 were connected to the south on the newly built Gram Straße L390. The total construction costs were more than EUR 24 million.

Klagenfurt

A 2 directional carriageway at the Klagenfurt feeder road that has been converted into a parking lot

The Klagenfurt West feeder is the originally planned A 2 in the Klagenfurt area. They wanted to build the A 2 through the urban area of Klagenfurt. The A 2 would then have become a so-called city motorway . In 1972 the section between the end of the motorway August-Jaksch-Straße and Krumpendorf was opened. The plans for further construction met with bitter resistance from the Klagenfurt population. So another solution was sought and then found: the Klagenfurt northern bypass, which was opened in 1995 and 1996 respectively. Almost half of the 12 km long route (5.73 km) is designed as a tunnel or underground route . It was one of the first motorway projects in Austria where tunnels were built specifically to protect residents from noise .

However, the Klagenfurt northern bypass only joins the existing A 2 at the Klagenfurt West junction. Therefore, the old route became the Klagenfurt West feeder.

The route between August-Jaksch-Strasse and the Klagenfurt Wörthersee junction was handed over to the Carinthian regional administration in 2002. It is therefore a state road and toll-free. Due to the low traffic volume of an average of 10,000 vehicles, traffic is only conducted on the northern lane. The area freed up on the southern carriageway has been used as a parking lot since then.

Motorway junction

The Süd Autobahn has a connection to a total of ten other motorways or expressways. Another connection (node Riegersdorf / S 7) is being planned. If you include the motorway feeder, there are currently ten nodes along the motorway.

Inzersdorf and Vösendorf

The junction Inzersdorf connects the south autobahn with the autobahn Südosttangente Wien A 23. The junction Vösendorf connects the A 2 with the Vienna outer ring autobahn A 21. The connection of the Vienna outer ring expressway S 1 to the junction Vösendorf took place at the end of April 2006.

In the course of expanding the A 2 to four lanes, the Vösendorf junction and the area between the Inzersdorf junction were also rebuilt. In the direction of Vienna you have to decide before the junction Vösendorf whether you will drive at the junction Inzersdorf on the Vienna south-east bypass in the direction of Wiental / Altmannsdorf or in the direction of Favoriten . Here, the distribution of traffic for the Inzersdorf junction takes place at the Vösendorf junction, because from this point both routes are routed as two structurally separate, two-lane lanes to the A 23. The diversion to the Vienna outer ring motorway and the Vienna outer ring expressway S 1 also takes place in the course of this traffic division. This is to prevent unnecessary and dangerous lane changes in the area between the two motorway junctions and thus lead to smoother progress. To reach the same destination, a speed limit of 80 km / h applies in this area. In the direction of Graz, both nodes are not connected to each other in terms of traffic. Coming from the Vienna Südosttangente four lanes pick up traffic and pass the Vösendorf junction with all four lanes. Between the Vösendorf junction and the Mödling / SCS junction, there is a two-lane collector lane in addition to the four-lane Graz roadway. Heading south you have to change to the collector lane after the Vösendorf junction if you want to drive off in the direction of Mödling / SCS.

Guntramsdorf

Originally the south-east motorway A3 was planned to Vienna to the south-east bypass , but was only built up to the south motorway at the Guntramsdorf junction . The junction is designed as a fork in the autobahn , as the main traffic direction of this junction is from the A3 to the A2 towards Vienna and vice versa. One possibility to use the opposite driving relationship is by taking a detour via the rest station north of the Guntramsdorf junction. However, the need for this connection is minimal.

Wiener Neustadt

The Wiener Neustadt junction connects the A 2 with the Mattersburger Schnellstraße S 4 as well as with Wiener Neustädter Straße . The A 2 crosses the state road B 17 known as Neunkirchner Allee here. The motorway junction was opened on December 19, 1964. At that time, the south motorway towards Graz, like the S 4, was only partially accessible. The S 4 only ran as far as the Wiener Neustadt Süd junction and was therefore just an extended exit. On July 25, 1975, the full expansion of the A 2 and S 4 in this area and that of the junction was opened.

Seebenstein

The Seebenstein junction connects the Süd Autobahn with the Semmering expressway S 6. Since the S 6 to the east ends after a few meters at Wechsel Straße B 54, the junction also serves as a junction to Seebenstein . From this junction to Gleisdorf West, the A 2 in the direction of Graz is only two lanes with the exception of creeping lanes on inclined sections . The main direction of traffic is the A 2 coming from Vienna to the S 6 and vice versa. This connection is built in two lanes with a large interlaced area.

Riegersdorf (planned)

The Riegersdorf junction will connect the A 2 with the Fürstenfeld expressway S 7, which is planned to relieve the Gleisdorfer Straße B 65 to the state border to Hungary at Heiligenkreuz / Szentgotthárd (H) . According to the current status (Nov. 2014), construction work will begin in 2015 and the S 7 and the Riegersdorf junction will be completed in 2019.

Graz-East

Graz Ost - Exit 179 (2017)

The Graz Ost junction connects the A 2 with the Graz Ost motorway slip road in Thondorf . The knot is designed as a trumpet . The Süd Autobahn has three lanes in each direction in the Graz Ost area. The right lane from each direction branches off to the feeder at the Graz Ost junction and comes back from the feeder to the main carriageway of the Süd Autobahn after the junction. Especially during rush hour traffic in the morning and afternoon, around half of the traffic flows from the A 2 to the Graz Ost feeder or from the Süd Autobahn feeder.

On December 2, 2013, the converted Graz East node was opened. The new Hausmannstätten junction was integrated into the existing node. From the autobahn there is now a direct connection to Kirchbacher Straße B 73 and L 370. In addition, unbundling measures were carried out to facilitate the exit to the Puchwerk junction.

The node, which is frequented by 75,000 to 80,000 vehicles every day, cost 24 million euros. The construction time was about a year. The first construction work began in autumn 2012, and the main construction phase started at the end of February 2013.

Graz-West

The Graz-West junction is the most heavily used motorway junction in Styria with over 100,000 vehicles on average daily . The junction connects the Pyhrn autobahn A 9 with the south autobahn A 2. The connections A 2 from Klagenfurt - A 9 towards Linz and A 2 from Vienna - A 9 towards Slovenia are designed as a Maltese cross , the other connections as a clover leaf . As at the Graz Ost junction, the right-hand lane from each direction is also the turning lane or the additional lane, with the exception of the A 9 towards Slovenia, as the motorway only has two lanes in this direction.

A special feature of the Graz West junction is that, despite the construction as half a Maltese cross, the motorway junction could be built on two levels. This was made possible by the fact that the ramps of the Maltese cross do not cut the knot in the center, but offset it a little from the center. This means that the Süd Autobahn can be crossed on a bridge and the Pyhrn Autobahn as an underpass.

Klagenfurt-North

The Klagenfurt Nord junction connects the A 2 with the Klagenfurt expressway S 37. Currently (as of the end of 2014), the junction is still designed like the former Klagenfurt Nord junction, which connected the Süd Autobahn with the Friesacher Straße B 317. According to plans by ASFINAG , the S 37 expressway, which has been in existence since January 1, 2007 by renaming the B 317, will be connected to the A 2 south autobahn at a junction that is yet to be built. Until this happens, the Klagenfurt Nord junction is also the Klagenfurt Nord node.

Klagenfurt-West

The Klagenfurt West junction connects the Süd Autobahn with the Klagenfurt West slip road. The A2 from the direction of Villach and the motorway slip road in the direction of Klagenfurt are the continuous connection at the junction, as the Klagenfurt northern bypass was built later. During the general renovation of the motorway in this area in 2004, the signs and the floor markings were also changed because it happened time and again that motorists stopped or got lost at the junction. In the direction of Vienna, signs were put up two kilometers before the junction, indicating that you have to turn in the direction of Vienna.

Villach

The Villach junction establishes the connection between the Tauern Autobahn A 10, the Karawanken Autobahn A 11 and the Süd Autobahn. The largest node in Austria in terms of area is also one of the best developed. With the exception of the ramp from the A 11 to the A 2 towards Italy, all left-turn routes are equipped with semi-direct ramps . Even on the extremely busy holiday travel weekends, there are never any traffic jams at the node . There is also an access ramp from Kärntner Straße B 83 from Villach to the A2 south. Originally the node was a motorway triangle . It was not until the opening of the Karawanken Autobahn in 1991 that the junction became an interchange .

Section Control

Section Control at the change

Since the section of motorway on the exchange by the weather is very accident prone, a by was autumn 2004 Section Control monitored speed limit introduced, with the speed limit on the weather conditions directed and speed measurements are restated.

The Ehrentalberg tunnel near Klagenfurt has been monitored using Section Control since June 2009 , which has significantly reduced the frequency of accidents in the tunnel.

particulate matter

Fine dust remediation area Graz with traffic control system

The south autobahn leads through the areas in Austria that are most heavily polluted with fine dust . Klagenfurt and Graz exceed the annual permissible number of limit values by far. The Wolfsberg district in Carinthia is also one of the heavily polluted areas. Many politicians and people blame road traffic for a large part of the problem. In particular, vehicles with diesel engines without a particle filter are said to emit particulate matter when they are burned .

On the A 2 in the Graz area, between the Graz West junction and two kilometers before the Laßnitzhöhe junction , there has therefore been a speed limit in the heavily loaded winter months from November 1st to March 31st since 2003 . The lower speed is intended to reduce emissions and the dispersal of fine dust. In the first year of this regulation, the speed limit was set at 80 km / h . However, this was only observed by a few road users. Dangerous situations often arose when trucks on the third lane overtook vehicles that were complying with the speed limit. In the following years Tempo 100 was then prescribed. Despite the speed limits, particulate matter pollution reached a new record in the first two months of 2006. For the winter of 2006/2007, a limit of 100 km / h was imposed between the Sinabelkirchen and Lieboch junctions .

In March 2007, the Styrian UVS classified the speed limits along the A 2 around Graz as inadequate and not in accordance with the road traffic regulations. The signs on this mostly three-lane route were only placed on the right-hand side of the road. Around 9,400 drivers could therefore expect the fines to be repaid. From autumn 2007, a 100 km / h restriction should only come into force on days on which the fine dust limit values are exceeded. According to Environment Councilor Manfred Wegscheider ( SPÖ ), this speed limit should be announced on new LED overhead displays that should have been installed by then. In November 2007, however, no such display boards were installed. Furthermore, all measures relating to motorized individual traffic against particulate matter pollution in Styria were discontinued.

On December 15, 2008, a traffic control system (VBA) overhead displays were put into operation on the said section . These are connected to a computer that, based on measured values and weather forecasts, decides every half hour whether the fine dust limit values could be exceeded and then imposes a speed limit of 100 km / h. Furthermore, the overhead displays can pass on various warnings (fog, slippery road, accidents) to the driver.

In the Klagenfurt area there is no separate speed limit due to the fine dust problem, because the majority of the motorway there runs in a tunnel , where there is a limit of 100 km / h all year round. In the Wolfsberg district, discussions have been taking place since 2004 as to whether it makes sense to reduce the speed to 100 km / h due to the particulate matter problem. In autumn 2007, this topic was no longer present in the press or in politics.

In Wiener Neudorf , the municipality has been calling for a speed limit of 80 on the A 2 and a noise barrier for a long time in order to reduce the exhaust gas and noise levels that are regularly above the limit values. The call for a demonstration was followed by 500 people on Friday afternoon, June 8, 2018, the driveway to the A 2 in the direction of Vienna was therefore closed from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Others

The 40-kilometer stretch along the Wörthersee between Klagenfurt Ost and the Villach junction is the section of motorway in Austria on which most of the wrong-way drivers (" wrong- way drivers") are on the move. In 2006, 2007 and 2008 185 wrong-way drivers were registered throughout Carinthia, 82 of them on the section mentioned.

A new method was used in the construction of the Kaiserwald section in western Styria in 1971, in which, for the first time, quicklime was added to the motorway construction to stabilize the loamy soil conditions on the Kaiserwald terrace and on the Kainachboden .
