 West Autobahn

The West Autobahn (A1) was the first motorway ("Autobahn") to be built in Austria, originating from plans drawn up for the so-called "Reichsautobahn" system.Completed in 1967, today it runs from the outskirts of Vienna via Linz to Salzburg, where it joins the German Bundesautobahn 8 at the Walserberg border crossing.
