After the section from Bludenz to Braz opened from 1969 to 1972, the Arlberg Tunnel, opened in December 1978, was the next completed part. Further construction took place over a number of years. Only in 2006 was the last gap closed with the Strenger Tunnel.
In the course of the Arlberg Schnellstraße, the cross-section of the road is often changing. While on the eastern tunnel approach, with the exception of the Zammer- and Perjentunnels, the entire route is carried out at least with a 2 + 1 traffic route (three lanes with alternating passing lanes), a large part of the western approach is only two lanes with an overtaking prohibition. However, since the speed limit of 80 km/h and the overtaking prohibition are frequently ignored in this area, serious accidents occur again and again. This makes the S 16 one of the most accident-rich roads in Austria and is therefore often locally referred to as the "death route." The ASFINAG therefore sent a dowser to "suppress" this area, since there are allegedly "earth rays" and "fields of force stones", which would supposedly lead to sudden blood pressure drops and microsleep in drivers. However, the effectiveness of this measure is controversial.[1][2]

Expansion projectsedit
The Perjentunnel will receive a second tube by 2018, after which the existing tube will be renovated by 2020. The route between the Perjentunnel and Zams is to be expanded to four lanes by 2025, so that the eastern approach will only have less than four lanes in the area between Flirsch and Pettneu. A four-lane expansion of the western approach, as planned in the meantime, was canceled due to low traffic load.
Before the completion of individual sections of the Arlberg Schnellstraße, today's Landesstraßen running parallel to the S 16 were designated as Arlberg Ersatzstraße B 316.
