The certificates will be handed out in the east on Friday, after which many Austrians will move south. However, construction sites and toll plazas bring the metal column to a standstill. The “crown” has the overview.
Traffic jams and renovation work are pushing the road network on the main routes to the limit. Here is a selection: On the Westautobahn (A1), the sheet metal crew comes to a standstill in the Thalgau-Mondsee construction site. Drivers should expect delays on the S 1, the Vienna outer ring motorway and the eastern motorway (A4).
The good news: Due to heavy summer tourist traffic, ASFINAG has halted tunnel renovation on the A10 between Golling and Werfen until mid-September, but the Tauern motorway remains a focal point from north to south.
Here you can see the Austrian traffic jam zones in summer.
Major events such as Formula 1
The Salzburg area before the tunnel areas and before the toll booth of St. Michael im Lungau is considered critical. If you want to avoid traffic jams, keep in mind that many exit and transit closures for through traffic will come into effect in Salzburg and Tyrol during the summer. In addition, major events bring traffic to a standstill on transit routes. This weekend the Formula 1 circus will be in Spielberg (Styria).
The classic bottleneck on the way to the eastern Adriatic Sea remains the A11 before the Karawanken Tunnel border crossing. Other traffic jam points include the Great German Bend and the Brenner Autobahn at the Vipiteno toll station.
Anyone going to the Ländle should note that the Arlberg Tunnel is closed due to construction work.
ÖAMTC expects a rush at the end of July
Harald Lasser of the ÖAMTC expects the really large flow of holidaymakers only later, when the holidays start in the German states, such as in Bavaria at the end of July. The traffic engineer also expects the travel season to be extended until the first two weeks of September. One reason: many football fans are excited about the stadiums of the German European Championship and have postponed their summer holidays.
