Massive fear of traffic jams: Up to 46 kilometers of traffic on the A10!

Travel southbound is currently severely affected. Last weekend, the Tauern Autobahn (A10) between Golling andwerfen was affected by massive traffic jams that reached a length of up to 46 kilometers. As ots.at reports, there was a traffic jam of 25 kilometers at 8 a.m. this morning. Drivers must expect a time loss of up to four hours.

In order to optimize the traffic situation, an exit closure was ordered, instructing drivers to stay on the highway. The B159 is also overloaded and contributes to the traffic jam problem. The police inform that traffic was slow on the Brenner motorway (A13), with a loss of almost an hour between Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass at 8 a.m.

Current traffic situation and closures

In addition to the situation on the A10, local events are also causing traffic disruptions. The rainbow parade in downtown Vienna leads to closures on the Ring. The area between Stadiongasse and Schottengasse is closed until 12:00 p.m., followed by further closures of the entire ring. Current information on these traffic situations is available on the website www.arboe.at/infos/verkehrsinformationen or by telephone on 050 123 123.

The Tauernautobahn (A10) is an important traffic artery that connects Salzburg with Villach and acts as a central north-south connection for tourists from Germany to Italy. The expansion with 2 × 2 and partially 2 × 3 lanes is intended to reduce the traffic load during peak travel times. staumelder-karte.at continuously provides current traffic information and reports that construction sites often lead to traffic jams, especially between Hallein and Kuchl and between Gmünd-Maltatal and Eisentratten.

Background to the Tauern Autobahn

The Tauern Autobahn plays a crucial role for the trade routes between Villach/Klagenfurt and Salzburg. The volume of traffic in this section is particularly high during summer weekends, which often leads to congestion. A second tunnel tube of the Tauern Tunnel was put into operation in 2011 to improve traffic flow and minimize congestion.

Traffic statistics in Germany clearly show that congestion on motorways increases, especially during holiday periods. As reported in the standard work “Traffic in Numbers”, the survey is essential for understanding mobility and traffic in Germany. This important data sheds light on the ever-growing problem of traffic congestion and infrastructure challenges facing authorities. bmv.de offers detailed reports on investments in transport infrastructure as well as data on accidents and emissions.
