Stauchaos at the beginning of the holiday: vacationers now have to show strong nerves!

With the start of the start in Eastern Austria on June 27, 2025, many families are available to pack the suitcases and plan the first trips to the summer vacation. But what can we expect on the streets? According to OEAMTC , travel traffic will be considered relatively relaxed by mid-July. But that changes quickly, because from mid -July the longest traffic jams will be expected if further federal states start the summer vacation.

The north-south routes are particularly popular, above all the Brenner Autobahn (A13) and the Tauern Autobahn (A10), where traffic jams will not be absent due to the high traffic. Incidentally, the A10 will be two -striped again from June 26th between Golling and Throwing after tunnel work - good news for all travelers who are on this important route.

highlight: large events attract people

Especially on weekends it gets turbulent. Formula 1 Grand Prix in Spielberg (June 27th to 29th) is expected to be 300,000 visitors: Inside to Austria, which entails additional traffic loads. The Electric Love Festival (July 3rd to 5th) and the Tour of Austria (9th to 13th July) also ensure lively mobility. In addition, travelers from Northern Europe can expect high traffic, because the summer holidays in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia also begin adac .

With the increased travel activity, construction sites and temporary restrictions are of course inevitable. Again and again it is built on the highways, and full closures will also occur at the weekend, such as on the A3 Nuremberg - Würzburg or the A8 towards Munich. An overview of the affected routes can be found on the websites of the Autobahn-dashboards which shows the current traffic and construction site situations in real time.

dusty areas and border controls

Especially elastic areas will always be the toilet stations, tunnels and border crossings. Delays are pre -programmed here, especially at the transitions such as Walserberg (A1/A8) or Suben (A8/A3). The tightened border controls, which have been carried out increasingly since May, contribute to the additional traffic density. So travelers should plan enough time to relax.

not only in Austria can be expected to be strong in Austria; In Italy, Scandinavia and Switzerland, too, traffic will increase due to vacation. For example, the Brenner Autobahn is often affected by construction sites, and on the Reschenpass there is mutual one -way traffic due to construction work.

With a good hand and a little patience, however, you can also get to the destination stress -free in this hectic time. It is to be hoped that all travelers can start their summer vacation safely and with anticipation.
