history
The Turrach route was already used as a trade route in the Middle Ages and was later expanded into a passable road. The Turracher pass road was known as the steepest pass road in Carinthia, but due to the partial relocation of the carriageway in critical sections it is now more gentle, so that an escape route was dispensed with.
The roads that are much more frequently used by long-distance traffic are the Tauern Autobahn A 10 and the parallel Katschberg Strasse B 99 from Bischofshofen to Spittal to the west, and the Friesacher Strasse B 317 from Judenburg to Klagenfurt to the east of the Turracher Höhe. But the road plays an important regional role as a connection and main traffic axis of the upper Gurktal , as well as the lower Lungau .
The Feldkirchnerstraße on the Carinthian side, led by Klagenfurt via Feldkirchen to Turracherhöhe, was listed in 1866 as one of 58 Carinthian district roads. As Feldkirchner Straße between Klagenfurt and Feldkirchen and Reichenauerstraße between Feldkirchen and Turracher Höhe, it has been part of the network of Carinthian state roads since January 1, 1872. The Devil's Bridge, built in 1893 over the Stangenbach gorge, is located on the Carinthian side in the cadastral municipality of Ebene Reichenau and was first rebuilt as a stone bridge.
The Lungauer-Steiermärker Straße between Mauterndorf and Predlitz is one of the 20 Salzburg streets that were expressly designated as state roads in 1873. Prince Johann Nepomuk Anton von Schwarzenberg , owner of the Murau lordship, had the 15-kilometer stretch from Predlitz an der Mur to his ironworks in Turrach expanded in 1783 in order to facilitate the removal of the iron produced there.
A bus service was started on the south side in 1928, followed by the Predlitz – Passhöhe bus line in the north in 1929. After the annexation of Austria , these roads were converted into a 1st order state road on April 1, 1940 as part of the standardization of the road system and designated as LIO 11.
The Turracher street belongs since 1 January 1949 to the network of federal roads in Austria .
In 2002 the federal government transferred the road to the federal states of Carinthia, Styria and Salzburg as a state road.
