The A2 motorway ( sl, avtocesta A2, Ilirika) is a motorway in Slovenia, around 180 km long, connecting the Karawanks Tunnel (at the Austrian border) via the capital city Ljubljana to Obrežje (at the Croatian border, near Zagreb). It connects several major Slovene cities, including Kranj, Ljubljana, and Novo Mesto, and is part of Pan-European Corridor X.

The northern segment between Višnja Gora and Grosuplje follows a completely different path, with three traffic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
