Easter is just around the corner: traffic jams and wave of travel threaten motorways!

München, Deutschland - On April 10, 2025, the upcoming Easter holidays in Austria and the surrounding countries are already throwing their shadows ahead. The holidays begin on Saturday, April 12th, and extend until Tuesday, April 22nd. During this time, a significant increase in traffic is expected, especially in the vacation regions. West-east and north-south connections are particularly affected, as many people travel to their home countries in Southeast Europe or break into the Alpine region for relaxation. ASFINAG reports that there is a strong travel wave on the A 8 Innkreis, A 1 West, A 21 Wiener External Ring, A 4 Ostautobahn, A 10 Tauern- and A 9 pyhrnache.

In these weeks, the winter season of some ski areas will also be ended due to the low snow conditions. In the western Austria, however, some larger areas remain open to the Easter weekend. The traffic challenges are additionally reinforced by the existing number of long -term construction sites that are maintained by ASFINAG. However, daily construction sites during the travel wave are exposed.

traffic forecast and traffic jams

Special caution should be car drivers on the A 10 at Golling to throw and on the A 9 near Kirchdorf and chambers, as strong traffic jams and disabilities can be expected here. On Maundy Thursday, the wave of travel on the western spreads towards Hungary as well as on the Pyhrnautobahn and Tauernautobahn begins. Good Friday is a holiday in Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

Another increase in traffic is expected on Easter Monday and on school -free Easter Tuesday when many return travelers return from their excursions. The border controls that have become necessary due to the mouth and claw disease could also affect the flow of traffic. This could be noticeable, especially at the borders to Slovakia and Hungary, where restrictions can probably be expected until May 20th.

Routes in Germany

The Easter holidays have an impact on traffic not only in Austria. In Germany, considerable traffic benefits and stem risk can be expected in Germany on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. The following routes are particularly stammering:

In addition, on Friday, April 11th, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., a full closure towards Bad Segeberg will be expected on Friday, April 11th. The A45 will be closed to trucks on Sunday from midnight until 10 p.m. Cutlets on motorways abroad, especially in Austria, Switzerland and Italy, are also to be expected. Drivers should also adapt to traffic impairments in Munich, which are related to the "Bauma 2025" trade fair until April 13th.

In order to get through the Easter trip safely, the ADAC recommends a staucial end that helps to avoid dusty days. Traffic impairments can also be expected in any case by the current number of 1043 construction sites on the German motorways. For road users, it is important to form a rescue alley when the traffic stalls in order to avoid legal consequences of up to 320 euros for disregard.
