The border controls on the occasion of the G7 summit in southern Italy were also clearly noticeable on the other side of the country on Saturday: anyone who wanted to travel to Italy via the Brenner Pass in Tyrol needed a lot of patience on Saturday. In the meantime, virtually nothing happened on the A13. Traffic was also more than slow on other routes in Austria.
Border controls in Italy following the G7 summit in the south of the country brought traffic across the Brenner Pass more or less to a standstill on Saturday. According to the ÖAMTC, the traffic jam on the Brenner motorway (A13) towards Italy stretched for 18 to 19 kilometers in the afternoon and the time lost amounted to more than two hours.
The Austrian emergency services were prepared for the scenario. Because from later in the morning the alternative routes were used so intensively that driving forward was no longer possible, the vehicles were led back to the A13 from there.
Waiting times also in Carinthia and Salzburg
There were also waiting times when leaving for Italy at the Carinthian border crossing at Arnoldstein on the southern motorway (A2). You had to wait there for about half an hour. In Salzburg, road users lost about one and a half hours on the Tauernautobahn (A10) due to busy excursion traffic in front of the Golling-Werfen construction site.
