Chaos on Slovenia's streets: Marathon and construction sites provide traffic jams!

Chaos on Slovenia's streets: Marathon and construction sites provide traffic jams!

Ljubljana, Slowenien - Slovenia's road network is faced with numerous challenges on June 15, 2025. On this day, far -reaching restrictions and diversions were announced, which affect both commuter traffic and national traffic. According to Kosmo there is a high volume of restrictions, especially on the highway towards Styria.

On the important traffic route between Slovenske Konjice and Dramlje, the road conditions are not optimal. In the direction of Ljubljana there are only two lanes available to the vehicles, while only one trace is accessible towards Maribor. The blocking of the section between Blagovica and Vransko, which will last until noon, is particularly serious. For drivers who want to use the Trojane driveway, there is also bad news: this is blocked in both directions, which is why it is necessary to redirect via regional road.

disabilities through construction work and the Franja marathon

Especially complications arise from the construction work on Celovska-Straße, which contain a special regulation. On the Oberkrain motorway between Brod and Sentvid, vehicles can also drive without motorway vignettes. Commuters between Kranj and Ljubljana have to expect significant delays today, in addition to the daily closure of the regional road Podlom - Kranjski Rak, which is between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. to and including July 22nd.

The route between RAZDRTO and the junction to Mance is blocked until midnight. In addition, the Franja marathon leads to further traffic disruptions. From 9 a.m. there will be full closures along the Ljubljana - Vrhnika - Vrhnika - Logatec - Godovic - Idrija - Cerkno - Sovodenj - Skofja Loka - Vodice - Gameljne - Ljubljana, which means that considerable traffic jams can be expected.

regulations for freight transport

Another aspect that reinforces this traffic chaos are the regulations for limiting freight transport in Slovenia. As reported Promet, heavy commercial vehicles with a total weight of over 7.5 tons on Sundays and public holidays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. are excluded. In addition, special restrictions apply during the high season for tourism that come into force this year from June 28th to September 7th.

The regulation should not only contribute to relieving the streets, but also ensure that the transport of freight vehicles meets the needs of the population and the economy. On the days concerned, both local and national road users must expect additional delays.

general traffic infrastructure

Slovenia's transport infrastructure is considered above average compared to the European average. According to countries data, the road network comprises a total of 38,125 kilometers and is therefore in the world ranking in 91th place. The traffic safety has improved in recent years, but an average of 113 traffic controls per year have been recorded. This shows once again how important it is to drive carefully on the streets.

In summary, Slovenia is now facing a complex traffic event, which is caused by construction work and a sporting event. The road users have to be patient and adjust to restrictions to get to the goal.
