Brennerautobahn

The Brenner motorway is a motorway that of Innsbruck in Austria (Brenner motorway A 13) over the Brenner Pass to Modena in Italy ( Autostrada A22 ) leads. It was built in the 1960s and 1970s and was one of the first mountain highways in the world. In the north, it is connected to the A 12 motorway connected Inn Valley and flows south into the Italian A 1

The Brenner motorway is the most important and geologically most difficult section of the European motorway from Munich to Modena and leads via the Brenner Pass (aka "Burner "), which is the lowest and already much used by the Romans pass across the main Alpine ridge with an altitude of 1350 m. It now forms the border between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Italian province of South Tyrol, the course largely the crests of the Tyrolean mountains follows.

The Brenner motorway is fitted to the majority of the route Innsbruck-Brenner- Verona with crawler lanes, if the slope is more than 3%. Comparable routes for example, in Switzerland have taken up this considered optimal threshold later.
