!!!Alpentransversalen

Transalpine Roads, name for the roadways from the Inntal Valley to 
Brenner, Tauern and Ennstal and from the Innkreis area to Pyhrn as 
well as the railways from Inntal Valley to Brenner, Tauern, Ennstal, 
Donau, Pyhrn, from Lundenburg to Tarvisio and from Hegyeshalom to 
Buchs. Because close economic integration and long-distance leisure 
traffic have led to a significant increase in the volume of traffic on 
the transalpine roads, the EU and Austria have agreed to promote 
environmentally friendly transport concepts in the  Transit Agreement. 
In the future, additional traffic volume is to be handled only by the 
railways and  Transportation of Cargo, Combined. One of the focal 
points is the construction of the Brenner railway route, which is 
intended to increase the use of this route from 34% to 50% in 
comparison to road traffic by measures such as the construction of the 
railway bypass around Innsbruck (Austria's longest railway tunnel, 
approx. 13 km) and the Brenner valley tunnel.
