Traffic chaos for Christmas: traffic jams on A10 and on the Alpine road!

In the middle of the upcoming Christmas traffic, massive traffic jams are announced on the highways, especially on weekends. The A10 Tauern motorway between Golling and Throwing becomes a real bottleneck due to tunnel construction work. Drivers should expect significant travel time loss between December 19 and 22 and from December 26th to 29th. The traffic situation will also be tense on New Year's Eve and from January 3 to 5, 2025, since many travelers are traveling towards Salzburg/Pongau, as ÖAMTC .

Speaking of security: drivers are asked to equip their vehicles with winter tires in winter conditions such as snow and ice and to pay particular attention to speed and safety distances.

To prepare for the trip, ASFINAG recommends that you regularly find out about the current traffic situation on your website.
