According to an APA local report, the traffic jam before the tunnel construction site near Golling on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) extended back to the Salzburg junction around 7:00 a.m., which is about 30 kilometers. There were also massive disruptions on the alternative route via the Salzachtal federal road. The ÖAMTC also reported heavy traffic from Tyrol and Styria.

Whitsun Traffic in Salzburg at the Limit: Traffic Jam Extends to Germany

According to ORF Radio Salzburg, by 8:30 a.m., the traffic jam on the A10 extended over the Walserberg into Bavarian Neukirchen, which is about 40 kilometers and a waiting time of four and a half hours.

The travel wave had already started rolling on Friday afternoon, when according to the ÖAMTC, there were continuous waiting times of over one and a half hours before the tunnel construction site. The traffic situation improved only slightly during the night hours. In the morning, the Hieflertunnel had to be closed due to a defective vehicle, which further exacerbated the situation.

Overnight Stay on Supermarket Parking Lots

On the Salzachtal federal road, which runs parallel to the A10, nothing was moving as early as Friday afternoon, which is why several campers headed for supermarket parking lots and took a short rest there, according to ÖAMTC traffic advisor Herbert Thaler.

In Tyrol, traffic also stalled on the transit routes on Saturday. According to the ÖAMTC, the Fernpass route (B179), the Innsbruck area (A12/A13), and the Brenner Autobahn (A13) were particularly affected. The time loss on the route from the Innsbruck area to the Brenner was about an hour. There was also dense convoy traffic on the Pyhrn Autobahn (A9). However, longer traffic jams were initially avoided.
