North Autobahn

The North Autobahn (A5) is a motorway, or Autobahn, in Lower Austria and part of European route E461. The first stage, which opened to traffic 31 January 2010, starts from a junction with the Vienna Outer Ring Expressway (S1) at Großebersdorf and goes through the wine quarter to Schrick, where it becomes the highway B7.

An extension of the A5 from Schrick to Poysbrunn is under construction, and is going to be opened in 2017 with a bypass of Drasenhofen near the Czech border. At a later stage, it is planned to extend the A5 all the way to the Czech border, where it will continue as the Czech D52, forming a continuous motorway link between Vienna and Brno.
