The Pyhrnautobahn (A9) ('Pyhrn Motorway') is motorway, or ‘Autobahn’, in Austria. It runs through Alps with help of two long tunnels - one-tube 5,400 meters long Bosrucktunnel and one-tube 8,320 meters long Gleinalmtunnel. Longest tunnel on motorway route is two-tube 10 km long Plabutschtunnel under city of Graz and its outskirts.
The last section of motorway was built in 2004. Still some parts of motorway are only single carriageway, including some tunnels.
