history

The entire route between Salzburg and Carinthia was designated as the Carinthian Reichsstraße in 1893 . Nine toll stations in Salzburg, Hallein, Golling, Werfen, Hüttau, Radstadt, St. Michael, Tweng and Untertauern financed the maintenance of this road.

The Kärntnerstraße (Salzburg) is one of the former imperial roads that were taken in 1921 as federal highways. Until 1938 this federal road was designated as the B 62, after the connection of Austria it was run as part of the Reichsstraße 331 until 1945 .

The Federal Road Act of 1948 designated the entire 137 km long road from Salzburg to Pass Thurn in Oberpinzgau as Salzachtal Straße (B 159). According to the Federal Roads Act of 1971, the Pinzgauer Straße (B 311) was supposed to replace the Salzachtal Straße on the middle section between Bischofshofen and Bruckberg. The westernmost section between Bruckberg and Mittersill has been called Mittersiller Straße ( B 168 ) since 1971 .
