12 kilometers of traffic jams to the south – cars are jammed in front of the Gotthard in both directions – news

  • Although the summer holidays in Switzerland are over, cars are jammed in front of the Gotthard tunnel on Saturday.
  • Shortly after 11 a.m., the convoy in the southbound direction had grown to a length of 12 kilometers.
  • According to SRF traffic a loss of time of up to two hours is to be expected.

Shortly before 12 noon, the TCS also reported via Twitter that the Gotthard tunnel was temporarily closed in both directions. The reason for this is a breakdown vehicle.

The A13 via the San Bernardino tunnel is recommended as an alternative route. There are also traffic jams in the opposite direction: between Quinto and Airolo, traffic has backed up for six kilometers. The loss of time is now up to an hour.
