significant traffic disruptions are expected

The Arbö and the ÖAMTC expect strong traffic jams on Saturday from the early hours of the morning, which could run until late afternoon. Various routes are particularly affected, including Ennstalstrasse (B320), the Tauern Autobahn (A10) and the Inntal Autobahn (A12). Furthermore, on the Brenner Autobahn (A13), especially in front of the Schönberg toll point, the Schönberg toll point is expected. The travel experts also warn of possible blocks of blocks in several motorway sections that can further tighten the situation.

Those who travel to Austria should also plan long waiting times at the borders, especially at the motorway border crossings to Bavaria. Increased controls and the high traffic volume will lead to noticeable delays here. The ARBÖ advises to use current traffic information to avoid traffic jams and recommend the use of the ARBÖ app and the ORF teletext on page 431 for current updates for traffic jams and traffic conditions.
