Corpus Christi: traffic chaos on the streets - traffic jam everywhere!

Golling, Österreich - Today, on June 17, 2025, a strong volume of traffic is recorded in the entire country, especially around the extended Corpus Christi weekend. As the ÖAMTC reports, many travelers started their short vacation from Wednesday afternoon, which leads to increased traffic jams on the transit routes towards Germany. A major traffic jam hotspot is the tunnel construction site on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) near Golling.

The Tauern Autobahn is a central north-south connection in Austria, which connects important places such as Salzburg and Villach. It is particularly used by German vacationers who travel to the south. This day, several traffic jams have already been reported on different sections of the highway, including a traffic jam between Kuchl and Pass Lueg as well as construction sites. Causes can also be expected between the Ovenau tunnel and the Helbersberg tunnel as well as in other areas of the A10, as there are several lane narrowing.

With several large events, including the Gaisberrennen in Salzburg from June 19 to 21, the authorities also expect roadblocks in the old town of Salzburg and Gaisberg Landesstraße, which contribute to the relevant information in communication.
