On Saturday, there will be significant traffic disruptions at several border crossings and important road links in Austria. The crossings in front of the Karawanks Tunnel in Carinthia and the Spielfeld border crossing were particularly affected, where traffic was congested due to the change of shifts for holidaymakers.
Waiting times of up to an hour were the norm at these points. In Salzburg, the Walserberg border crossing caused delays of up to 15 minutes. In addition, there were slow traffic sections on the A10 Tauern motorway, particularly between Salzburg South and Puch/Urstein and in the opposite direction between the Pongau junction and Werfen.
To make matters worse, the Arlberg road B197 has been closed since Friday evening following a mudslide near St. Anton. Since the Arlberg tunnel is also not passable due to renovation work, both main connections over the Arlberg are interrupted. The ÖAMTC recommends large-scale diversions via the B198 and the Lechtal or via Germany.
