Strong wave of travel for Easter: Chaos on Austria's highways threaten!

Walserberg, Österreich - On April 8, 2025, a strong travel wave is expected to be east, which should significantly influence the traffic situation, especially on motorways and border crossings. The ÖAMTC reports on the main traffic axes, which are expected to be the most affected, including the A1 at the Walserberg border crossing and the important node points in Salzburg. Drivers should prepare for increased traffic and possible delays.

A look at the current traffic situation shows that the motorway traffic centers continuously monitor inbound and outbound situations on German highways. Information about longest traffic jams and a variety of construction sites can be called up via an interactive dashboard, which is provided on the website of autobahn.de . This can ensure quick reactions to disorders. Compliance in advance, which is coordinated in advance, ensures that traffic break and control are implemented efficiently.

construction sites and traffic disruptions

The ADAC informed that numerous construction sites could further make driving conditions more difficult during the upcoming travel wave. The critical areas include:

• A1: Walserberg border crossing, A1/A10
• A2: Greater Salzburg, A2/A21/S1
• A4: Knot Prater to Simmeringer Haide
• S1: Knot Vösendorf
• Construction sites: Gleisdorf Süd - Gleisdorf West, Unterwald - Herzogbergtunnel
• preparatory construction sites in the Kufstein area and various tunnel construction sites on the A12

Special attention is to be paid to the construction site areas such as tolls - chambers on the S6 and the Golling tunnel construction sites. These could result in significant disorders in travel, especially for those who travel at Easter.

Set to increased travel times

The forecasts for traffic loads indicate that drivers should plan longer driving times to avoid inconvenience. Data and transport analysis is supported by various organizations that aim to give a detailed insight into the traffic situation. However, many challenges could be mastered quickly with modern monitoring methods and flexible reaction strategies.

Overall, the combination of Easter trip time and ongoing construction sites will be an immense challenge for travelers. A foresight planning and the regular review of the traffic situation are therefore advisable to get the desired goal safely and in good time.
