The A6 is a Swiss motorway. Up until the mid-1990s it was called
N6. This denomination is still used in certain documents. The A6 has two sections. the first section starts in Biel / Bienne and goes to Schönbühl. This section is a cantonal road belonging to the
canton of Bern, but in 2014 it will be taken over by the Swiss government and thus turn into a national road. In Schönbühl the A6 joins the
A1. A few kilometers south, at the junction Bern-Wankdorf, the two motorways separate again. The A6 leads up the Aare valley to
Thun, and from there to the junction of Lattigen near Spiez. At this junction, the A6 turns south to Mülenen while the motorway going southeast changes into the
A8. Earlier, there had been plans to continue the national road through the
Simmental and then connect it with the
Canton of Valais through the
Rawil-Tunnel, but this project was abandoned in 1984. The road and the tunnel were never built. ==Junction list==
