The right lane of the A1 was closed during the clearing work between Allhaming and Sattledt in the direction of Salzburg, which resulted in the traffic in this area significantly impaired. Drivers had to adjust to longer traffic jams and delays. The support of ASFINAG was necessary to ensure a quick and safe recovery of the accident vehicles.
