Good nerves were needed again on the A10 on Friday. A kilometre-long traffic jam caused motorists to lose up to an hour and a half of time. The reason for this is not only a large construction site, but also a long weekend that the Germans are facing.
On Friday afternoon, a long traffic jam formed again at the “eye of the needle” on the Tauernautobahn in the state of Salzburg. After 3 p.m., the metal column traveling south between Pfarrwerfen and Hallein reached a length of about 15 kilometers. “That means a loss of time of more than an hour and a half,” Harald Lasser of the ÖAMTC told the APA. Postscript: “And the traffic jam is still growing.”
Lasser suspects that many Germans have used German Unity Day next Tuesday for a long weekend and are now heading south.
The reason for the traffic jam is a construction site between Golling and Werf, where Asfinag is completely renovating the entire tunnel chain. For this purpose, the two lanes in front of the pipes must be merged into one lane.
