“Driven Home for Christmas” – this Christmas in the heavy snow. Deep winter conditions prevailed on the roads in Tyrol on Tuesday morning. The clearing services have been in continuous operation since the night hours. Chains are mandatory on some connections. Increased caution is required, the traffic police warn.
“Currently there are snow roads in almost all of North Tyrol,” the state transport department told the “Krone” shortly before 8 a.m. The heavy snowfall is already causing concern, even though there was little traffic in the morning given the date. Nothing was yet known about any major problems or accidents.
In some cases chains are necessary
Christmas started here and there with mandatory snow chains. For example, on the Arlberg Pass, on Gerlos Straße in the Zillertal or on sections of the B170 Brixentaler Straße, the director continued.
Clearance services are used all the time
The clearing services have been in continuous operation throughout Tyrol since the early hours. This way, traffic could continue early in the morning on the Fernpass or on the Brenner motorway A13.
Relaxation is in sight
In the morning it still snows heavily in Tyrol, sometimes heavily. “In the afternoon, snowfall decreases from the west and by the evening it largely disappears in the Oberland. Here too things become a bit looser. Otherwise it will continue to snow lightly until the evening. In East Tyrol it will remain dry with stormy Tauern winds away from the northern valleys and mostly sunny,” says GeoSphere Austria.
