Easter tourist traffic on the Tauernautobahn (A10) in Salzburg once again caused a kilometer-long traffic jam on Good Friday and Maundy Thursday.
On Good Friday the line to the south already stretched for ten kilometers and could grow further during the afternoon. Waiting times initially ran up to two hours.
On Maundy Thursday, the traffic jam eventually reached a length of 18 kilometers, which, according to the ÖAMTC, was “by far the longest traffic jam in all of Austria”, with waiting times of up to three hours.
Since September, the renovation of the tunnel chain at Pass Lueg has led to the complete closure of one lane of the A10 between Golling (Tennengau) and Werfen (Pongau), which leads to traffic jams, especially on busy travel days. Despite exit closures, the national highways in the Salzach Valley were again affected by extensive diversion traffic on Friday.
