Mega traffic jams on the A10: Trial test for travelers at the weekend!

Golling, Österreich - On Friday, June 6, 2025, there is a strong travel and transit traffic to the south on the Tauern Autobahn (A10). This leads to kilometers of traffic jams, especially in front of the tunnel construction site in Golling, where traffic builds up to Hallein. According to krone.at, the time delay on the A10 is already 70 minutes between Hallein and Golling at 8 a.m. and increases to 90 minutes at 11:30 a.m.

In addition to traffic on the highway, there are further congestion at the Walserberg border crossing. Annorage communities along the A10, such as Kuchl and Golling, experience a test of patience throughout the weekend. The downhill locks from the Tauern motorway have only a limited effect, and a tightening of the traffic situation is expected for the course of the day.

Current traffic situation and traffic jams

The traffic situation on the Tauern motorway is also tightened by construction sites. So there is slow traffic from Golling-Abtenau to throwing, while a traffic jam from Hallein to Pass Lueg was registered early in the morning. Current reports of stumelder-karte.at There is a construction site between the furnace tunnel and the Helbersberg tunnel, which affects traffic until June 26, 2025.

In addition, the police report an operation at the Walserberg node due to a fire in an older VW bus that will lead to a total lock in the direction of travel at Salzburg around lunchtime.

The importance of the Tauernautobahn

The Tauern motorway is a central north-south connection that connects Salzburg with Villach, and plays an important role for travel, especially for German vacationers on the way to Italy. With a total length of 194 kilometers and an expansion state of 2 × 2 and 2 × 3 lanes, it is an important traffic artery. stummeder-karte emphasizes that the Autobahn strengthens activities for vacation travelers, especially during the summer vacation, which regularly leads to overload.

The Tauernautobahn, whose planning began in World War II and its last sections were completed until 1983 and 1988, has established itself as essential for the regional traffic infrastructure. Security measures, such as the installation of a second tunnel tube of the Tauern tunnel, were introduced to relieve traffic flows in 2011.

In this context, reference should also be made to the compendium "Traffic in Numbers" of the BMV that provides comprehensive data and statistics on mobility and transport in Germany. It contains information on investments in the infrastructure, transport infrastructure and annual traffic figures and is an important reference work for traffic planners and researchers.

The traffic situation is continuously monitored by the responsible office in order to take appropriate measures to overcome the growing challenges in road traffic.
