Stau-altraum after Ascension Day: 16 km on Tyrol's streets!

Tauern Autobahn, 5600 Salzburg, Österreich - On June 1, 2025, considerable traffic jams can be expected in return travel after the extended weekend around Ascension Day. The ÖAMTC warns against sometimes hours of delays on important traffic axes, especially on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) in Salzburg. Here drivers have to expect up to 2.5 hours of traffic jam to the north and 1.5 hours to the south, such as [ots.at] (https://www.ots.at/presseaus-sung/ots_20250601_ots0024/oEAMTC-KILOTENLANGE-MAUS-IM-MRUCHNAUS-MAUS-AUS-AUS-ABEDEM-DEMENGENGE WOCHEN) reported.

In addition to the stowage pages on the A10, the main traffic arteries between Salzburg and Villach, there are also other strongly affected routes. On the long -distance pass route (B179) in Tyrol, traffic builds over 16 kilometers towards Germany between Reutte and Füssen. The traffic jam between Seefeld and Scharnitz is also about 7 kilometers on Seefelder Straße (B177). The traffic side Stumelder-Karte.at reports in accordance with the situation.

Significant waiting times and border crossings

At the border crossings there is a similar picture: drivers in Kufstein (departure) must expect waiting times of up to 30 minutes. When entering Austria, especially the border crossings, the playing field and Nickelsdorf, the waiting time is also up to 30 minutes. ÖAMTC expert Harald Lasser expresses the fear that this may not be the tip of the iceberg, which indicates persistent problems in the traffic flow.

The Tauern Autobahn, which is an important connection for vacationers from Germany to Italy, has a total length of 194 km and begins at the Salzburg node (A1). Although the highway is well developed and has two to three lanes in different sections, it is particularly overloaded from the main travel traffic, especially on summer weekends. The disabilities are often the result of construction sites or accidents that can lead to overload at critical points such as the Tauern tunnel.

maintaining the traffic flows

Special attention is paid to the construction sites, which are currently in several places on the A10 and its access. One of the construction sites between Hallein and Paß Lueg contributed to the current traffic disability. In addition, lane narrowing and oncoming traffic will take place in the course of construction work by the end of June 2025 between Ofenau tunnel and Helbersberg tunnel.

This return travel and the associated traffic jams are part of a larger trend in mobility statistics, as the BMV. Traffic volume and performance have shown a constant increase in recent years, which results in an increasing burden on the infrastructure. The approval of vehicles in Germany has increased significantly, which underlines the need for investments in traffic routes.
