The A4 motorway (Slovene: avtocesta A4, Podravski krak) is a 33.4 km long motorway in Slovenia connecting Maribor and Gruškovje (at the Croatian border). It also connects the two principal cities of the Drava Statistical Region of Slovenia, Maribor and Ptuj. Construction began in 2007 and was completed in 2018.
