The A3 is a motorway in Switzerland.
The A3 belongs to the Swiss motorway network. It starts at the border in Basel where it connects to French motorway A35. From the Wiese Motorway Fork, the route is shared with the A2.
At Augst, the motorway splits, with the A2 branching off and the A3 continuing past Rheinfelden and Frick. After the Bözbergtunnel is the Birrfeld Motorway Fork near Birmenstorf. Here the A1 and A3 share the same route as far as Zurich. In Zurich the motorway ends and until the Uetliberg Tunnel is completed in 2008, one must drive through the city. After Zurich the motorway weaves through the hills of the south-east bank of Lake Zurich. It continues along the Walen Lake, and on to Sargans where it ends at a junction with the A13.
The A3 represents (together with a section of the A1) the most important connection between Basel and Zurich, and (together with a section of the A13) the most important connection Zurich–Chur.
