The Bosruck Tunnel is a toll section on the Phyrn highway A9 (Wels - Graz) in the center (of Styria) in Austria. Specifically, the Bosruck Tunnel is a railway tunnel with two road tunnels passing under the Bosruck mountain. Depending on the route, the Bosruck Tunnel is crossed on the way from Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or Germany towards Hungary.
The Bosruck Tunnel road tunnel is a total length of 5,509 meters (5.5 km), with two tubes (construction of the second tube started in 2009) that mostly run parallel to the approximately 80 years older railway tunnel.

You can bypass the Bosruck Tunnel by taking the state road 320 in Altenmarkt im Pongau (formerly federal highway B 146 and B 308), which later becomes the E651 (european road), and head towards Liezen. From Liezen, continue through Selzthal. However, keep in mind that while bypassing a toll tunnel may save you the toll fee, it usually results in a significantly longer drive and, consequently, higher fuel costs. Whether bypassing the tunnel is worth it depends on individual circumstances.
Both tunnels are located on the A 9 Phyrn highway, which runs from Wels to Graz. Both sections of the route require toll payment.
