The route between Moutier and Delémont is a beautiful route, with mainly decent asphalted surface but there are some places near the industrial areas where the asphalt is a bit rough but overall good a surface. Geological speaking it offers a lot of unusual rock formations creating nice backgrounds for photos. The route and following the River Birse which flows all the way to Basel.

In Roman times, the Jura was crossed through the Schüss gorge north of the small town of Studen/Petinesca, or what is now Biel. Parts of this ancient road were excavated by the Archaeological Service of the Canton of Bern. The Roman Jura transversal was examined at various points during the construction work on the A16 national road between Biel and Tavannes in 1992 and 1994. Parts of the Roman road that are accessible today are at the so-called Martinsklafter in Péry, in the Tournedos field in Sonceboz or at the Pierre-Pertuis in the municipality of Tavannes. The latter is a natural opening in the rock that was used as a road passage in Roman times and was provided with an inscription
