Travel chaos for Corpus Christi: traffic jam alarm on all highways!
The long weekend around Corpus Christi will once again cause a lot of traffic on the roads this year. As ÖAMTC reports, a heavy traffic volume is expected to begin on Wednesday afternoon. Many travelers are taking the opportunity to take a short vacation, which is leading to a noticeable increase in vehicle density on the arterial roads in cities.
Drivers face a number of challenges, particularly in the Alpine regions. The current traffic jam hotspot is the tunnel construction site on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) near Golling, which is causing delays until the end of June. According to Puls24, considerable time losses can also be expected on the Inntal Autobahn (A12) in the greater Innsbruck area and the Brenner Autobahn (A13). In addition, travelers on the roads in Vorarlberg, Tyrol and Salzburg must expect increased delays.
Overview of storage locations
The following roads are particularly prone to traffic jams:
- A10 Tauern Autobahn bei Golling
- A12 Inntal Autobahn im Großraum Innsbruck
- A13 Brenner Autobahn
- B179 Fernpass Straße zwischen Füssen und Nassereith
- B177 Seefelder Straße zwischen Scharnitz und Zirl
- Und viele mehr in ganz Österreich und Deutschland
Traffic jams are to be expected in several places, including in the area of border controls towards Germany. Travelers should expect waiting times, for example at the Suben, Walserberg and Kiefersfelden crossings, where random checks have been increasingly carried out since May. Good advice for those traveling towards Germany: Plan enough time so that you don't run out of time.
Events and additional burdens
It's not just exciting on the highways, but also in the cities. The Gaisberg race will take place in Salzburg from June 19th to 21st, which will lead to road closures in Salzburg's old town. In addition, the Danube Island Festival attracts many visitors, which is why the ÖAMTC recommends switching to Park & Ride and public transport.
The traffic intensity will continue in the next few days as many travelers return home after the Whitsun holidays. In this context, ADAC will point out a high risk of traffic jams on the motorways. Even higher traffic jams are to be expected, particularly in the south of Germany and on the Tauern Autobahn.
For anyone looking for cheap gas stations, the ÖAMTC offers a fuel price database in the route planner. This means you can stay flexible when refueling and always find the best option on your trip.
