About fifteen kilometres were passable when work stopped at the start of the war, leaving an 800-metre gap over Hahnenkamm to Ahornalmen.
  2. 1947Safety works were carried out, and Theodor Jakob persuaded transport minister Dr. Hans-Christoph Seebohm to fund completion.
  3. 1953–1955Work resumed in 1953, and the road became passable in 1955.
