Returns on the A10: Pentecost chaos with over 20 kilometers backlog!

Returns on the A10: Pentecost chaos with over 20 kilometers backlog!

Golling, Salzburg, Österreich - massive traffic jams on the Tauernautobahn (A10) near Golling, Salzburg, destabilize travel on the Pentecost weekend. According to [5min.at] (https://www.5min.at/5202506081125/stundenlange-staus-au--a10-pentenver traffic, drivers had to expect more than three hours of loss of time due to a tunnel construction site and the strong holiday traffic from Germany. The traffic jam extends over more than 20 kilometers and even extends to the German border to Bavaria.

On Sunday morning, a picture similarly emerged as the previous day. The traffic load led to a backlog to Grödig. On other important traffic arteries in Tyrol, such as Fernpassstraße (B179), traffic only progressed slowly. Even on the Brenner Autobahn (A13), travelers had to expect about an hour of delay. In the other parts of the country, the traffic remained largely calm.

The Tauern Autobahn itself is a central north-south connection that leads German vacationers to Italy. Its total length is 194 km, it begins at the Salzburg node (A1) and ends with the B100 E66 towards Lienz. The road is partly expanded with 2 × 2 or 2 × 3 lanes, which gives it great importance.

effects and forecast

The current problems affect not only the A10, but also other important traffic routes. The road users have to prepare for further delays, in particular due to the bottleneck situation during the main travel times, as it also confirms oeastc.at.

The traffic forecast, however, indicates a possible relaxation of the situation around lunchtime. The last Pentecosters should then get through the constrictions to the south.

The persistent traffic jams illustrate a frequent problem during the summer travel weekends on the main traffic routes, especially on the Tauern Autobahn, which is repeatedly affected by construction sites and high travel.
